Tucked away in the ZenDen at work. I felt God knocking on my heart. I love to be hidden in our special place with God, yet I felt Him whispering to me… “how are you going to be a light when you’re hidden?” Going through the day I felt it heavy on my heart. 

Coming into work the next day, I made it a point to do my usual reading in the common area. I was able to connect with someone that was getting back into reading the bible. We were able to talk about how we go about reading the word. 

I’ve often gotten stuck on reading the bible being a private thing and something that is to be held only at certain times with certain people like bible study. God had been showing me that He can’t work through me if I keep holding myself inside the secret place. 

I do my best to make sure I’m reading for the right reasons and not for show, which is one of the reasons I don’t bring my physical bible to work. I use the bible app so there’s a little more privacy, yet people notice me writing and ask. At that time I’m able to share. 

God is so good because I don’t have to be totally outward about it, He uses my regular behavior to bring others close to Him. He uses the curiosity of others to bring them closer to the light. God is more than powerful, He doesn’t need me to be anymore than who I am. He uses us exactly how we are, through the outpouring of His Spirit in our lives others are drawn in. 

They may not even understand why they are drawn in but it’s the light within. Shining the goodness of God brings people into the fold of His bosom. He works through me. I didn’t have to do anything but move in the will of God and things began happening.
