Brennan Manning writes about honesty in his book,
The Ragamuffin Gospel.
  He says;

"Relief comes from rigorous honesty with our selves.
  Honesty… is always unpleasant, and usually painful, and that is why I am not very good at it.
  But to stand in the truth before God and one another has a unique reward…… Gerald May, a Christian psychiatrist in Washington DC, writes: "Honesty before God requires the most fundamental risk of faith we can take: the risk that God is good, that God does love us unconditionally.
  It is in taking this risk that we rediscover our dignity.
  To bring the truth of ourselves, just as we are, to God, just as God is, is the most dignified thing we can do in this life."

 This last couple of weeks trying to focus on getting back to the basics has been really difficult.
  Letting God be God and coming to that place of honesty had been humbling but super sweet all at the same time.
  I have been realizing more and more everyday that I am not a super-Christian, I have nothing to offer Jesus, I am not deserving of His love.
  But the risk of going to this honest place has been so rewarding and letting Jesus love me in my vulnerability has been so sweet.  Instead of feeling discouraged and sorry for myself that I am just a lame little human, I am realizing what grace the Lord is pouring out and how much I need to and can rely on Him.  

Another thing that I have been focussing on in trying to get back to the basics is that the emptier and emptier that I become of myself the more and more the Lord can fill me with Himself.  i think the hardest part about this though is that I think that if I empty myself of me that Jesus is automatically going to fill me, that as soon as I am empty the heavens will open up and there is going to be a terrential downpour of His Pressance and I am going to be filled and ready to go.  Not So....I have to make an effort to spend time with the Lord and ask Him to fill me.  It takes effort people.  If a glass is empty it is not going to just fill itself up with water, you have to pick it up, take it to the sink, turn on the fosset and fill it up.  It is the same for us, we have to go to our shelf and read the Bible, we have to turn of the TV and talk to the Lord, we have to get out of bed and sit before Jesus.  The painful feeling of empiness being satisfied with the Surplus of God is worth the effort.

I want to encourage you to try getting back to the basics of Walking with the Lord.  Those simple disiplines and truths that we learned so long ago are crucial in our relationship with Jesus.  Get honest with the Lord, get honest with yourself and let Jesus be God.
