light

light – piercing, pure
dwells deep within
hidden by me.

who i think i am,
who i think i am supposed to be,
who others think i am.

how do i get out of my way?
how do i get out of God’s way?

peel away all that is not true –
all falsity falls away.
i am left with the image of God
that dwells within,
the unique part of Him
that only i can offer to the world.

but how?
how to let go of all that covers
and hides the God within?
only by Him,
only by grace,
only through surrender
can a glimpse of
what dwells deep within,
hidden by me
be seen
through the Light that is piercing
and is true.
