I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night – but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. – Psalm 139:11-12 (NLT)
CAN’T HIDE FROM GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are living in chaos and darkness
You can run to God for light and brightness
No matter what you do, you cannot hide
He is always there for you to help and guide.
You can choose to stay in the gloom
He overpowers sin so you can bloom
You have nowhere to run to avoid his love
He made you so you can win and rise above.

I ran for so many years from what God wanted me to be. I was consumed by traumas and denied myself the joy that I could have had if only I didn’t turn my back on God. He wanted the best for me but I was so arrogant to even listen or find out what he has in store for me. There was a time that I was so angry with him and hibernated for weeks after he didn’t give me the job I so wanted. I had a big argument with him and blamed him for all the bad things that happened to me. He still gave me a better job than what I wanted. The bible says that we can turn from God but He always sees us.
PRAYER
Lord, help me not resist your light.
REFLECTION
What have you been running from?
