“A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.” Maya Angelou...
Meaning hidden, kept out of sight, concealed.
We located twenty-eight verses that direct us to the word hidden.
I woke up this morning at 4:39 a.m. It's in these early morning hours when our world seems so still, so void of the noises that seem to disturb the peace and beauty that consume our busy lives.
It has become my favorite time of day. It's where I can escape into the hidden world where Jesus awaits. He gently comes and stays a while. He soothes my soul. He brings peace to my very existence. I can share my most intimate thoughts with Him: my dreams, victories, failures, struggles, and fear of the darkness in this turbulent world.
It is where I can surrender my heart and soul and clear my mind...
He has become my favorite hiding place... He loves me past all the pain, heartache, and doubts. And fills my life with His abundant love, His unexplainable peace, and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
It is a difficult relationship to explain and a challenge to understand when measured by our worldly standards.
The hidden secret is,
He is not of this world... He is timeless. He is a powerful force of energy. He is all things to all people. He wows me!!! He blows my mind!! He is my three in one, He is a humble, loving Father, King, and Savior who has been desperately searching for our love...
He stays hidden in the shadows unless we surrender our hearts... His heart aches for us to return to His loving arms. And yet, so many of us cannot find the time to hide with Him. They seem only to find the time when they are caught up in self, hurt, doubt, fear... Why do we wait to find Him when we are desperate?
I have experienced a secret place where He awaits. There, I can feel His forgiveness, grace, amazing love, and everlasting peace. He is my hidden treasure and a gift from God. He yearns to be a part of ALL our lives. ALL the time.
He is not a God of convenience.
He is not my gift alone—He belongs to you, too. When we find Him, we must savor our time with Him, fill our hearts with His unexplainable love, and share Him with our world.
God only knows how much we need Him. His children are constantly praying for answers... And all this time, He has been right under our noses... But have we been too blind to, see??
It’s Him!! It’s always been Him.
He will always be my hidden treasure. No matter how often I share Him, His love is limitless and never-ending...
He has become as important as the very air I breathe... There is nothing in this world that can replace the valued treasure of knowing Him. Of spending time alone with Him. Of loving Him...
Just WOW... There is no one like Him ... I am blown away... by His Hidden Charm!!
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,”
(Matthew 6:21 ).
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy, over it, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Matthew 13:44
