Polish

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, 

Which shines brighter and brighter until full day. 

Proverbs 4:18

Make me shine with Your light, Lord!

I feel tarnished, dingy, covered in dust and cobwebs.

Polish me so Your light can shine more brightly
out of the cracks and empty places. 

When my soul gives way beneath the polishing,
comfort with the knowledge
that the hands applying the pressure are Yours.
