I am great at withdrawing,
at crawling deep inside myself,
forgetting that I do not, cannot
operate in isolation.
Draw me out again and show me
the community You’ve given me.
Make me humble enough to accept
the blessings of others,
bold enough to offer gifts of my own,
and clear-minded enough
to see brilliant streaks of
You throughout this priceless community.
