The Microscope of Grace ~

Under the microscope of grace,
God sees our imperfection
and we must be willing to open . . .
up our hearts for His inspection.

Through the lens of His mercy,
He can spot our hidden sin
and we must let Him search
the crevices within.

His light will focus in on,
the darkness still inside
and we must realize from Him
there’s nothing we can hide.

With compassion and pity,
God sees us who we are
He can spot in a second
those close to Him or far.

God looks for His Son’s image,
to be reflected back at Him
and under grace’s microscope . . .
He sees through our secret sin!

1 Corinthians 4:5
King James Version

“Therefore judge nothing
before the time,
until the Lord come,
who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest
the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every
man have praise of God.”

Keep Searching Me Lord ~

Keep searching me Lord,
keep probing my heart
take my anxious thoughts
before they even start.

Keep leading me Lord,
whether it be night or day
direct me in Your light
onto the everlasting way.

Keep exploring me Lord,
keep looking deep within
bring me to repentance
over every hidden sin.

Keep guiding me Lord,
keep me on the right path
let me not fall onto the one
that brings eternal wrath.

Keep evaluating me Lord,
keep discovering in me
any pride, greed  or lust
in which, You still can see.

Keep searching me Lord,
put me under the spotlight
till all of the wickedness
in me, You highlight!

~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 139:23-24

“Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:

And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.”

What’s Under Your Robe?

Sin isn’t just the kind,
observed with the eyes
there can be so much more
no matter the disguise.

People may point out,
the obvious sin in our life
but it’s the sin that’s unseen
that will cause eternal strife.

Sin that can’t be seen,
that we keep deep within
doesn’t go unnoticed
though we think it’s hidden.

For God sees our hearts,
the sins we’re harboring
He knows every deep secret
that we are nurturing.

We need to check our robes,
look under what it covers
there may be sin in us . . .
He wants us to discover!

Numbers 32:23
King James Version

“But if ye will not do so, behold,
ye have sinned against the Lord:
and be sure your sin will find you out.”
