Today we welcome guest blogger, Pastor Kimberly Davis from SCI Cohort #8. She writes beautifully about that first awareness that God does see and love us!
I am seen
by Kimberly Davis
In my wondering,
My fear and shame -
With eyes looking up,
Yet a downcast soul -
I come to You.
I have long journeyed the path,
Yet in seeking I find myself
disoriented,
Confused,
Sad.
It is in this great sorrow
that I quietly stumble upon The Way.
In my deep desolation,
with my head bowed in shame
The Lover of my soul enfolds me in His embrace,
Even though I am covered in hidden filth.
He whispers love in my ear,
Looks deeply in my downcast eyes
until they cannot help but look into His.
He sees me!
I am loved.
I am known!
And then God’s blessing –
A tear.
