Three Little words
Don't hide Jesus. Don't hide "yourself" or teach your children to hide Him either. Just a note, you "can't". He is everywhere. He walks with every created Soul He makes, beside the shadow of our very being. It is only when we let the Light within us shine, that He is felt and seen.
So many people are walking around searching. Searching for that Light of Jesus. When we acknowledge Him, whether it be in public or even just to our own souls, He breaks through. He breaks through that muck that the world and our own sins have muddied. He washes us clean. In His presence we are renewed by that cleaning that He so mercifully and lovingly gave to us on that cross. He did not hide His love for us as He carried that heavy cross. Our Blessed Mother united Herself with Him. Not hiding Her faithfulness and trust in Her Son who was so cruelly treated. She stood beside Him all the way. She did not hide Her tears. Her sorrow. Her trust. We owe Him our lives. Our faithfulness.
Do not hide Him like a trophy on a shelf, where the dust can accumulate and hide His very presence. He is our Anthem. Our mark of the One and only True God.
Yes, it is true. We can run, but we cannot hide. He will never run from us, but will remain hidden only if we choose it. Show Him to the world and be proud to announce that without Him, all things are lost.
I love you Jesus.
