PIECES
A friend of mine likens life to the whole art of computer programming- how we love to see a beautiful well designed website but the codes used in the process of designing are a mass of complicated figures most of us can't even decipher. That's how we are- perfect smiles, saying all the right things, always getting up, dressing up and showing up to wherever we are needed. Yet more often than not, whatever is going on within is a
huge mess of things we do not want anyone to see- which is quite alright because imagine a world where everyone is telling everyone else everything about themselves.😄😄
The problem comes in when we go to God with the same mindset- When we go to Him thinking we have to have it all together because He just might decide He doesn't feel like loving us any more. So here we are and our prayers are full of memorized words we do not even mean and we sing songs that we don't believe in any more and keep making sure we get every religious deed right when the truth is that nothing makes sense any more.
Give Him your wounds, your bruised and broken pieces
All your questions all your secrets-
You don't have to hide who you are
You belong to Someone Greater
than all your past mistakes and failures.
Rest in who He is
He knows how to make your pieces fit.
In Christ we find relief. When we give our all to Him, He makes sense out of it. He connects us with people we can be real with and He makes us who we are meant to be. So whether your pieces are so easy to put together or they are so messed up you can't even remember which one belongs where, just carry them to Him. In His arms you are safe.
