EVEN BEFORE WE SAY IT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Can someone know what you are about to say?
Can a person see your heart’s condition in every way?
No human can comprehend what’s in the mind of a man
Only our heavenly Father can see through every human.
We cannot hide from God; he knows us inside and out
He recognises in vivid details what we are all about
Even before we say it, he already recognizes it
Why not seek his truth so you can hear his Spirit?

Is it really possible to discern what someone else is thinking? If you are very intimate with a person you are in relationship with, there may be instances that you can foresee what they are about to say or guess their thoughts. But, I am sure that you can’t always know at all times what these thoughts are.
Only the Lord knows everything and can see all things before, during and after a person says something. He even sees the condition of our hearts. He can discern our motives or intentions, our desires and our schemes. Despite his omniscience and omnipotence, he still respects us and gave us free will? What will it take to be open and honest with Jesus?

PRAYER
Lord, please give me a heart that is open and honest.
REFLECTION
How can a believer establish an intimate relationship with God where he or she can honestly pour his or her hearts to Jesus?

NOWHERE TO HIDE Poem Devotional

The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
– Proverbs 20:27(NLT)
NOWHERE TO HIDE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When the light of the Lord penetrates your spirit
There is nowhere to hide, better seek it
God’s light pierces your entire being
It exposes your heart and every little thing.
Why do you keep on running and hiding?
Let him change you, instead of keeping on sinning
The Lord sees all of your hidden intentions
Repent each time you succumb to temptations.

Have you ever kept running from something you feared so much? There were many decades of my life that I did this because I feared rejection and abandonment. Whenever I get close to someone, I would self-protect so I can ensure that I won’t be hurt. So, even before this person can prove their love for me, I already had a strategy to run. It became a coping mechanism so I can protect myself from possible people who would reject, abandon or neglect me. It was a tiring way to live because there are no healthy or lasting relationships. I wasn’t able to give others to get close enough to hurt me. It wasn’t a good way to live life with people whom you have relationships with.
I did this avoidant act also with God because I was full of shame from disobeying him. But I had nowhere to hide from his great love for me.
