Peek-a-boo, Hidden from view

Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:24 NIV


I love to play peek-a-boo with my grands. When I hide my face they think I have disappeared, and they giggle our loud when I pop back into view. In their little minds I have actually disappeared for those few seconds and then magically reappeared. Yet, I was really there all the time, simply hidden from their view..


This verse reminded me so much of the Peek-a-boo game I try to play with God - hiding my hurting, sinful heart, thinking that he cannot see it. Yet he is there all the time, watching and waiting for me to let him see, cleanse and heal my heart. 

Lord forgive me for trying to hide my heart from you. Help me to be honest; to confess my hurts, my failings and my shame to you and to receive your love each day. For like a loving parent you are always there waiting for me to allow you access to those deep places that I try so hard to keep hidden. Amen.
