“He came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the Good God could say: ‘you give me your humanity, and I will give you my Divinity; you give me your time, and I will give you My eternity; you give me your broken heart, and I will give you Love; you give me your nothingness, and I will give you My all.” – Fulton J. Sheen, The Eternal Galilean
Hidden in You
If it be my strength
that prevents me from loving you,
then let me be weak;
let me have no one else
to depend on to
but you,
let me be able to
follow your leading
and know you’re that one person
whom I can lean on to.
If it be my riches
that prevent me from loving you,
then let me be poor;
let my life be simple
so I can be free
to be with you,
to notice the things
that you do,
and to receive all things
you want me
to have from you.
Strip me of everything
that will ever prevent me
from knowing you.
Take away all things
that will ever cause me to run away
and thereby prevent me
from being found by you.
Grant me a life
hidden and simple,
pure and true,
that I may spend all my days
beside you,
strong with your own strength,
rich in your very love,
possessing nothing
yet having all things and more
so much more
in you.
Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings… – Psalm 17, WEBBE
