Everything is Hidden, Yet Everything is Exposed

I hear their feet shuffling and their bags ruffling.

Everything is exposed as they walk the path to their destination.

Nothing between their goal in mind, and their destination in sight.

Nothing separates the silhouette of their journey and the crisp night air they walk through.

Everything is exposed, yet everything is hidden.

I see them every day as they wonder here and there.

I see a hunger within them for His love,

a yearning for wholeness and identity,

yet it is hidden by each ritual they offer in the temple.

Everything is hidden, yet everything is exposed.

I hear the passion in every thud of the drum.

I hear the joy through every verse of praise they sing.

I see their unhindered worship before Him as they dance like David danced!

Everything is exposed yet everything is hidden.

Their fear is hidden in the boldness of Christ!

The wounds of their heart are hidden in His healing power,

but their pain is hidden in tears.

Everything is hidden, yet everything is exposed.

About Nikki Clifton

I am 25 years old, currently living in my home town in North Carolina. My next step is to India for a year long stay (with a 2 month leave in between due to visa restrictions) with a ministry in Central India which I have worked with since 2006. I have come to realize all my hopes, ambitions, and journeys boil down to an unstoppable desire and need for intimacy with God! From that intimacy with Him, bursts forth the unquenchable desire within me to live a life that results in as many people as possible turning back to God in reverence and worship unto Him...because HE IS MOST WORTHY!! This idea has absolutely wrecked my life...in a good way! :) It has caused me to give my life to Him through the avenue of serving His people within my community as well as abroad in Central India. I cannot accomplish any of this without the power of the Holy Spirit and for that help, I am so grateful! I will be headed to India for a long term stay this March. Please follow my journey through my blogs. I would love for you to keep up with all that GOD is doing in that region!
