• Oratio Divina: Images Of The World

  The identities I cling to
  images of the world
  for fear of who I am
  without them
  or that I will disappear
  into nothingness
  unseen
  unheard
  unfelt
  unloved
  but God’s promise
  is that I am
  before this world
  I am
  beyond this world
  I am
  ~Robert Van Valkenburgh

  Reflection:
  Where do you cling to false identities out of fear, and how might God be inviting you to rest in your true identity in Him?

  Scripture:
  “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” — Colossians 3:3
