It’s 5-minute Friday time again! Today’s prompt is:
Look
Look. “Look at me!” the child inside says. The adult in me says “Don’t look at me!”
I am uncomfortable with attention, yet I crave affirmation.
The truth is – inside – I really want you to look at me, to see me for the real me, not just the package I’m wrapped in.
Because I’m very insecure inside this wrapper. I need someone to say I see the real you and I like you.
If you are like me –on the inside- I suspect there will be a lot of us at Allume next week – we will all be looking for the real us inside the wrappers we are wrapped in.
May I make a request? Will you make your wrapper fit the real you? So I can see and recognize the sisters I long for when I look at you?
{lest you get worried that I mean no makeup or perfumery or nice clothes- that’s not what I’m talking about here- just so we’re straight on that} J
“Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” Luke 12:27
May we all be as lilies, just the way God made us!
Ding.
