Peeling Away the Layers – v6

Becoming like children

peeling away the layers;

our experiences clouding

the true vision of God

The lies of the world

layer upon layer;

keeping us from truth

the simplicity of God

Love alone,

this is the message;

all of the teachings

boiling down to this

The guile of those older

older than young children;

trying to read more

into everything

God calling to us,

“come to me as a child;

simple and humble

sit at my feet”

The lesson of the greatest

in God’s heavenly kingdom,

stripping away all pretense;

coming to God humbly,

humble as a child
