This is my attempt at some sort of poetry thingy I guess... I have no idea if anyone but me would even get this.
Through brokenness He's calling me.
But I turn away. I want to do this on my own.
He follows me.
But I want to walk alone, to prove I can do this.
Broken as I am, I cling to my brokenness.
Wretched as I feel, I don't want to ask for help.
I want to show the world that I'm strong.
He asks me to surrender.
But I still turn away.
Wretch that I am, I cling to my wretchedness.
Finally my tower topples.
I cry out wondering why I'm alone.
But I'm not.
He never left me.
Scared as I am, I cling to the darkness.
He tells me He loves me.
I tell Him He can't.
He shows me His hands.
I know now what he's done.
Weeping as I am, I weep in His arms.
He lifts up my face and tells me He's here.
I know I can't do this alone.
In my weakness I've finally found strength.
I can stand again.
Broken as I am, I now feel His hope.
I understand that completely. I do that to myself all the time. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't tell you how nice it is to know that someone gets this.
ReplyDeleteOmgosh.. *glomp* This is so good and so evocative. Yes, I get it. You're Soooo not the only one who feels this. Sometimes we don't know what's good for us. We run and try to live by our own strength..but after awhile we inevitably realize we can't do it on our own. We need God's strength and help. You should definitely write more often. I think you'll find that people can relate to you more often than you think.
