Who would you be if you didn't hold yourself back?

Your humble blogger just got through a journaling session and a question came to mind that just begged to be shared:

Who would you be if you didn't hold yourself back? 

I, know, I know. It sounds hokey or new age or self help guru-ish. The fact is, though, we get in our own way a lot of times. And, it doesn't hurt to be reminded of that so we can see beyond to our true potential.  

Wiper of the Blood

 

Today, your humble blogger came across this post from Utica of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13.

 It hit me as a beautiful reflection on the Christ's agony in the garden and quite timely as we're in the season of Lent.  The last line in the post especially inspired reflection as it brought up the question: Are you there to wipe someone's tears away? Are you present to someone who's hurting, especially someone from a marginalized background? What opportunities have you missed to be present to someone in your life or who you've come across when they're having their "agony in the garden" moment? This Lent, let's reflect on where we can be a "wiper of the blood" for someone in need.
