A Secret Place
In the roughness…
In the difficulties…
In the struggles…
Lost in life’s…
Fog
I found quiet.
I found peace.
I found Presence.
I found…
Rest
As I battled my thoughts.
My fears.
My doubts.
My confusion.
I experienced,
ㅤI felt,
Care for my…
Soul
I felt safety.
Safety in a secret place.
Safety from which I could see myself.
My failures.
My successes.
I could be seen,
ㅤand I saw…
Myself
I felt loved as me.
But I saw parts of me,
ㅤhabits were revealed to me,
That resisted that…
Love
I could see how I was hiding.
Hiding from myself,
ㅤmy flaws.
Hiding behind a protective wall of…
Pride
And as I sat in the quiet,
ㅤin the peace,
Of that…
Secret place
I discovered,
ㅤI felt fully…
Loved
As I released the fears,
ㅤthe doubts,
That confined me…
That imprisoned me…
ㅤin my hiding place…
I knew.
I knew I must return to,
ㅤremain in,
That secret place.
That I must let him shine…
Shine his light into my hiding place.
To replace my hiding place with his…
Secret place
Lord, you are my secret place.
Lord, invade my hiding place.
Lord, replace my walls…
ㅤReplace my walls with your arms.
Lord, enfold me in your love.
Wrap me in your safety.
Hold me in your…
Hope
Lord, I am yours.
Continue to make me more and more…
Yours
Written as testimony was shared, as life was given
