Hidden

nesting ants flee

once the lid

is opened

A dear overseas friend sensed I was depressed / discouraged. She hoped she wasn’t right, but she was.

“But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.”  Ephesians 5:13 NKJV

Exposed

“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

There would be no hiding for anyone undergoing this process.

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.
