Sow for yourself righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain salvation upon you (Hosea 10:12).

Hide your light



because
we can not hold you
or touch you
we can not even see you
with our fragile eyes

because
your light is overwhelming
your glory devastating
your power
is too much for us

please
hide your light
in the shadows
and reflections

hide in the wind
in nature and fire

hide in the beauty
of a waterdrop

hide in the colours
of a hopeful rainbow

hide in the silence
of my restless heart

hide in a miracle
covered by mud

hide in the broken pieces
of shattered love

hide in the teardrops
hide in the call
of desperate mothers
hide in the prayer
of a lonely child

hide in stammering words
hide in pity and grief
in sorrow and sins

hide
deep down
in brokenness
and pain

enligthen
our world
enlighten
our hearts

whisper
your spirit
in passers-by

please
sparkle
the lights
of our trembling candles
and reflect 
in our mirrors
your grace and mercy
as tiny little lights
for other seekers

and put
lots of 
little love
in our broken vessels

  1. Beautiful way to put it. Gods greatness too big for us, but visible in the tiny things we so often walk by without noticing.
