“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days.” Leviticus 14:8

Oh Lord, help me deal with the uncomfortableness of being exposed and transparent so others can see You at work in me. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Vulnerable
Trees drop their leaves
and stand exposed
to winter’s stare
vulnerable before men
they reach for God
and await transformation.
