God made me small
so I could see the small
Some were made as such
to feel insignificance
to experience hiddenness
It’s the wounded
that God uses
to see the things
the strong do not
It’s not that God wants hurt for us
but that He takes it
and uses it
to heal the world around us
Our wounds are different
and therefore
all the more beautiful
when we come together
and tell each other
the lessons we’ve learned from them
the gifts we have received
because that’s when God’s power
comes most alive for us
when we look at each other’s pain
and we’re able to see
that God was not gone
He was there
making all things new
It encourages our hearts
and brings beauty to the world
the broken world we live in
but which God shines through
the broken moments we live in
but which God shines through
these broken vessels we live in
but which God shines through
Joyful Ruins
