Unveiled

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18, NIV)


Veiled
Sheltered
Hidden
from searching gaze

But unable
to connect
to share the hope
and healing of beauty
to offer the gentle strength
we all need

Isolated

Safe
And ineffective.

Unveiled
Life revealed
Glory manifest
Strength shared

Pressure to wear the veil
to hide

But You have torn it
the veil separating us from You
and You in us from each other

You have unveiled us forever
exposing for all to see
our transformation
the growth of Your glory in us.

Oh, let me not veil myself again!
