Hiding and Seeing

by | Aug 12, 2011 | The Poetry | 3 comments

If I am not careful
I stop letting people in
Go deaf to the doorbell
Hide
Hide
Where no one will seek
I’m good at this game
It is easier, sometimes
Than letting others in
To perhaps find me
They might see me
Me
Wretched, broken
If I am not careful
I forget
The One who changed
Wretched to triumphant
Broken to fixed
Exposed
Exposed
He found me, so I can go seek
So I do not hide
So they might see me
So they might see Him

    I remember singing “This little light of mine, I’m gonna’ let it shine” in Sunday School or Bible School when I was very small. Sometime later I heard/read Matthew 5: 14-16. Your post reminds me of the lesson found in both.
    Keep posting these shining little lights. They not only reflect light on you and me, but especially on our Creator.
