That's something no one wants to be. Vulnerability is a sign of weakness, it means you aren't in control and might get hurt. Power is better because it means we don't have to be vulnerable. Except God, whom we'd assume is powerful, got really vulnerable by being born as Jesus. Is God telling us something? Does vulnerability have a place in relationships? I'll tip my hat and tell you that if Jesus showed us anything, it is that vulnerability is where relationships are forged.
