What Are You Hiding?

Gospel
Mk 4:21-25
And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand? For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

It’s time to take back your life.
It’s time to slow down to the speed of joy.
All revolutions have a moment when they begin. This is your moment.

What Are You Hiding?
What jumps out at you
today? Is there a word? Is there a phrase or idea? Jesus is talking about light. Jesus
loves the analogy of light. He uses it throughout the gospels and the contrast between
light and dark. And today He says, "You don't bring it in and put it under a bushel."
And in Matthew's gospel, we have that great line, "Let your light
shine."
And so maybe the call today is to ask, okay, in what ways are
you hiding under the bushel? In what ways are you hiding your talents or your abilities
under the bushel? Or what are you hiding under the bushel? Because his next line is that
whatever is hidden will be made manifest. And so what are you hiding under the bushel?
What are you hiding? And why are you hiding it? And who is that hurting? Who is that
helping? How is that hurting you? Is it really helping you? You probably do it because
you think it's helping you, but is it really helping you? What are you hiding? And why
are you hiding it? Let's think on that as we make our way through the day. Have a great
day. Remember, don't just be yourself. Be the-very-best-version-of-yourself, all that
God created you to be.
