Not Foxey Lady

Luke 5:16

23After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.


******************************************************************
Like a candle
I put my light
Out there
For everyone to enjoy.

Someone comes
Real close,
And breathes heavily on it.
Blowing my light away.

It's easy to stay in the dark
It's seductive, pitiful, tasty.
But once you've been lightened
Darkness doesn't suit you anymore.

Stubbornly,
I go to my Father
And ask Him
To light me up again.

Flaws.
When things are dirty
They hide underneath.
Father brings my brokenness to light.

It hurts to see myself
In the mirror
Of His Word.
All my flaws exposed, naked, vulnerable.

Still I haven't figured out where His love comes from.
A love like His resembles nothing I knew.
Unconditional.
Never-ending.

...Just know, it's here.
I open my heart, and receive it.


Matthew 5:16

16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
