Just received a heartfelt text from a dear friend. It was so beautifully scripted that I had to share in some social media form. Since it was over 140 characters, Twitter was out. Facebook couldn't be an option because I felt that the words wouldn't be read with the same sincerity as they are on here.
"....Remember that no matter what you are hesitant to shed light on - He sees an artfully, wonderfully made child. His Spirit spills out of you through strength AND weakness, and His glory is revealed in the trueness of your humanity. I see Him alive in you, and it is breathtaking. You are a treasure. xo"
I easily forget that when darkness falls, Christ still has the power to shine light. Soul searching, deep reaching, radiant, warm, beaming light.
I hide, I fear, I doubt, I question.
I fear,
I FEAR,
I fear.
What ifs and whens?
Hows and whys?
Why nots?
Who?
.....Again!?
Are you sure?
It's impossible.
Me?
Really?
Good one.
Seriously?
Not that.
Nope.
That's mine.
Fine.
Here's a piece.
All of it?
C'mon.
You don't want it.
It's ugly.
It's SO ugly.....thats what makes it beautiful?
Not for me.
No one wants me.
"Yes, you."
Beautifully created, fearfully made, hand crafted in the image of Yahweh - It's you. This little light of yours. Let it shine.
Let it shine.
Let it shine.
