Bright

I hope the benefit that my presence adds to your life outweighs the burden I put on you.

But why must I assume you view me as a burden?

I don’t need to.

If I did, that would be missing the point.

God didn’t create me unto the end that I fear my affect on others.

I am free to realize

That the brightness Jesus bestows on my significance dulls not when I err.

If it did, that would limit joy.

Which is simply not true.

Living in such fear would prove God’s grace conditional.

Though we all may become entangled in the spiderweb of sin’s kingdom.

We don’t have to stay there.

Though we at times may forget the goodness of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit keeps us bright.
