Jewelry Box

I tried to put my Jesus in a jewelry box So I could carry him around Take him out when I had the time Marvel at my image of him I wanted him to be a certain size Just big enough to make me smile Genie Sized Big enough to answer my wishes Make me feel good about myself Then I could put him back Until I needed him again Out of sight out of mind Until the troubles came They always did I had to sit down Examine myself Understand he is more My Jesus My Jesus Cannot be contained It was my own mind that was constrained Blocking him out again and again Boxed within my own doubt I couldn't see what He was about It was time for me to let go Let Him be the Master There is much I don't know So I reached out with my mind To the vastness of Him Until he occupied My heart from within He is the biggest and smallest Smaller than I can see Larger than I can imagine Yet still inside of me Connecting me to everything Intimate Relational Inspirational My Jesus Your Jesus Knocking at the door Wanting to be more Not just a genie In a pocket Enclosed in a jewelry box Jesus Patiently waits Stands at your door Can you hear him knock?
