The most succulent nectar, the most satisfying food, the most fulfilling sustenance is wisdom. Revelation is your sustaining nourishment, and it’s all self-fulfilled. You can’t wait to know who you fully are, clothed in righteousness, power, and freedom. Revelation is like coming home from work, and getting naked, throwing your clothes off and dancing around like a kid! That’s who you are anyway, might as well enjoy twirling around in your birthday suit.
Adam and Eve realized they were naked, and they clothed themselves. Now, we realize we are clothed, and we want to be naked, but this time we’re not ashamed. We are who we are. We realize that to praise creation in its naked form, the critic gets to point fingers and laugh if they want. The ego is no longer a factor – the fig leaf is a sham. The spirit doesn’t seem to care if she is standing in the park naked with comment cards and a suggestion box. How can you make it better? Come on.
Once you realize God isn’t hiding, then, there is nothing more to hide. Covering yourself with a fig leaf is the joke you haven’t been let in on yet. Protecting yourself with a loincloth protects nothing. There is nothing to protect when you realize you are indeed The Protector in disguise.
You’re an innocent, vulnerable, and naked creature with nothing to hide. You’re hiding in plain sight anyway, so might as well let it all hang out with abandon, fearlessness, and joy. Can you imagine running around like a naked toddler? Well, you are…you just think you’re not. The secret’s out – there aren’t any.
