Illumination

From Hebrews 10:32 - A sort of Poem

I remember those days on the other side of grace
When my heart did not see nor my mind comprehend
God's great plan, His desires, my self-will, and my doubt.
Those were days when the light that illuminated upon me
caused a stir within my heart and offended my inner being.
Those were days when the light that illuminated
brought me smack against a wall that was not yielding.
Since those days I have learned that illumination is good.
It helps you see the crooked ways that feet trod to.
Illumination shows ugly for what ugly is and does.
Not small or big nor insignificant.

I couldn't see why God set up all those laws back then
When Moses gave the Ten Commandments plus,
Which no man really kept completely.
"What was the point?"
My blinded eyes would ask.
The point struck home when illumination came.
It showed me I was needing more
Than what the law could do back then.
I needed help, blind people often do.
I needed guidance, lost people do so too.
I needed Jesus -
The Light, the Truth, the Way.

Now I see much clearer.
It started blurry at first.
Kind of like the blind man Jesus healed in Bethsaida.
It seems I saw the world much more different.
Its lures no longer shined.
I saw the true condition the Bible showed of my heart.
I once was lost but now I'm found...
Was blind but now I see....
Illumination- the Grace of God,
Shown in Mercy and in Love.
