I came to show Myself

I came to show myself
I came
I came to show you
How strong
You already are
Your heart is hid in me
I will always show off my treasures
For the whole world to see
That I am the one
Who has held you close forever
Who has never left you
Who shows you love unending
Did I not set the stars in the sky
And the ocean waves to roar
Did I not craft each heart
As delicate as a dew drop
But yet unbreakably strong
It is I who has never left you
Whispering my love
This is just the beginning
Of new times of joy unimaginable
Of a wiping away of tears
Of unfolding of eternity's space
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

Burnished Gold

It is just 6am in the morning and I can see a very bright sun shining behind, and through my curtains. The colour it has given the fabric is like burnished gold. Right before my eyes, the cloth has taken  on a new quality , like shimmering gold dust. It's metallic beauty catching the light in different directions. This cloth has no such luster of its own but has taken on a certain iridescent quality from the sun.

In the same way, we are to take on the light of our Heavenly Father. The true and perfect light. We do not have it of our own, but when we are in Him, we take on   His qualities and we glint and shimmer and reflect God's glory. We display the beauty of the awesome, enigmatic power of God .  

Proverbs 4:18 

18The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,

shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
