BECOME

There's so much more about you

that you never let them see

You turn away

But not to Me

And I know how they tried to take you

Held you up and meant to break you down

But you can't be

For so long I tried to reach you

I know I'm almost there

I'm close enough for you to see

You've been hiding in the shadows

Have you forgotten how we used to dream

Let me remind you

The light doesn't blind you at all

It just helps you see

Can you see

You have become

You have become beautiful

- This song came to my mind last week.

Last summer on the airplane to Minnesota, while skipping through several albums they had,

I listened to this song and it struck me.

And even though I didn't buy the album, I didn't forget the lyrics.

It's not a christian song, but I believe Jesus wants to tell me (us) the same:

DON'T HIDE from me,

DON'T be scared to come into the light...

You know light helps you see,

Which is positive, but not always appealing, because

standing in the light of Jesus will make really clear all your deeds, thoughts, faith and unbelief.

But He sais:

Come close, don't be afraid, because I am the Light, and I won't hurt you, I want to open your eyes, I want to give you LIFE.

I want you to get OUT of this world that is breaking you, and invite you into Mine.

I want to open your eyes and show you who you really are.

I try to reach you, please don't hide in the shadow, let me come closer,

I'll enlighten you and free you, but first you got to open up.

Come into the light.
