You're Scared Because You're Exposed

This is a season for reflection no doubt and it came to my mind, "what is God trying to expose to you, about you?" Then I started thinking about why I am stressed recently, what the root of that really was. I traced it to the fact that I was scared and I was scared because I was exposed. Exposed to the fact that my spirit of self-reliance was becoming my downfall, the fact that I sometimes care too much about being known or being important. I was scared because I was being exposed.
