Light Makes Some People Nervous

Daily writing prompt
What makes you nervous?

Folks who choose to hide
Things deep down inside
To keep them from light
And out of plain sight
Get nervous in light.
They’re scared of insight.

God is light.
He’s darkness free.
He wants to shine
In you and me.
People who say
They know the Lord
But won’t walk in
His light of day
Don’t speak the truth.
If you want to
Truly know God
Walk in His Light.
Receive insight.
Learn to do right
In the power
Of Jesus’ might.
Christ’s light in me
Brings fellowship,
And community.
O taste and see!
(1 John 1:5-7)

Faith without daily
Implementation
And application
Is lifeless; it’s dead.
(James 2:26)

Religious words
From a heart that’s
Distanced from God
Are hollow sounds.
(Matthew 15:8)

Dimness diminishes
The impact of light
And hides God’s insight.
Light shoots straight
It doesn’t curve.
Do you have
The courage to
Look in the face
Of Jesus Christ?
(2 Corinthians 4:6)

Grace is about Christ
Living inside you
Providing His power
So that you can do
What He tells you to.
(Philippians 2:12)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
