Leaving Our Shell
Coming out of our shell can be scary. It took this turtle over twenty minutes with no outside stimuli to finally leave his refuge. He must have felt safe enough.
The conundrum: deep inside we want to be known, but are afraid if someone really knew us they would reject us, laugh, and ultimately leave. Do we dare to take a risk and “open up”? Who can we find to be safe enough with?

Which One Are You? What could move you from ‘closed up’ to ‘safe’?
One of the thoughts that first came to my mind was Jesus’ encouter with the woman at the well. She was an outcast and had to wait until everyone else was gone before she could draw water. Yet he didn’t see her that way at all.
If you have time, watch this short clip from The Chosen: Watch how Jesus gently gives her the opportunity to come out of her shell!
