“Life is deep and simple, and what our society gives us is shallow and complicated.”— Fred Rogers…
In the context of the Bible, shallow often refers to a lack of depth or authenticity, whether in faith, relationships or our understanding of God’s Word. It describes a surface-level connection to God’s truth, one that lacks genuine commitment, transformation, and intimacy.
Are we willing to peel back the layers and reveal our true selves? Or are we content to settle for a shallow existence one that doesn’t reflect who we were created to be? Do we wear masks, crafting a version of ourselves for the approval of others?
I’ve wrestled with this question, and now I ask you:
Who truly knows the real you?
I choose to dig deep.
Because it’s there beneath the surface where I find the only One who knows me better than I know myself. Even with all my flaws and insecurities, He loves me with a depth I have never experienced elsewhere.
I cannot hide anything from Him. He longs for our love.
He is profoundly complex yet so beautifully loving and kind.
With Him, we’re drawn to grow, to reach higher, to go deeper.
Don’t remain in the shallow shades of grey.
Immerse yourself fully:
In His Word.
In His forgiveness.
In His eternal love.
When you do, the raw, beautiful soul within you will no longer feel bound by this world. You’ll begin to breathe, and the eyes of your heart will see the beauty of life.
That’s His master plan: to exchange a shallow, guarded heart for one that is wide open to Him, and to love.
To love deeper than you ever imagined possible.
It’s Him.
It’s always been Him.
And I’ll be honest, my love for Him has reached new depths.
It’s too vast, too intimate to fully explain. He overwhelms me…
I am undone in His presence.
Just… breathe.
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”— 1 Peter 4:8
