Morning Prayer 2022 Day 59
Revealing God,
You spoke directly to Moses and it changed him.
Your light shined on his face so brightly that it frightened the people.
Moses put on a veil around them. He hid the light from their eyes because it was more than they could imagine and take in.
But, when Moses returned to you, he removed his veil. Lord, you know all of me. You know those things that I hide from the world. You know those things that I diminish and downplay and avoid. You know all of me, the parts I veil and the parts that are so true to who I am I cannot hide them.
I veil parts of myself Lord, but you don’t ask that of me. You love all of me - all of me is created in your image. All that I am, all that I long to be, and all that I can be, you affirm and accept and value.
Help me do the same for myself. Help me remove the veils of embarrassment, shame, uncertainty, fear, disbelief, and rejection that I too might shine with the light of your grace so brightly that it seeps into the lives of those around me.
Revealing God, lift my veil.
Amen
