I see Jesus.
He is… spotlighting me.
Though I cannot see it
He is focusing
The attention of Heaven
On the pain
Joy
Anger
I thought
I was bearing alone
In obscurity
I see myself.
As Heaven sees me
With compassion
Excitement
Expectation
Pride
Grief
I break down and cry.
And as I do
The light
Floods into me
Consuming
All my darkness
As I…
Go supernova!

Scripture
“You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.
Psalms 56:8–13 TPT
The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! I trust in the Lord. And I praise him!
I trust in the Word of God. And I praise him! What harm could man do to me?
With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes. My heart overflows with praise to God and for his promises. I will always trust in him.
So I’m thanking you with all my heart, with gratitude for all you’ve done. I will do everything I’ve promised you, Lord.
For you have saved my soul from death and my feet from stumbling so that I can walk before the Lord bathed in his life-giving light.”
