You have described the inner musings of so many believers here with this poem. Remember the Father of the boy possessed by a demon. He said, “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!”

We all are the Father uses the broken ones.

Well, amen. Cause yeah, I am a mess. LOL.

As believers, we don’t need to have everything neatly labeled or placed into compartments. There is mystery of the mess of being weak—in understanding that we are not wise in our own eyes and knowing that boasting about tomorrow is not our marching order. Our true strength, sanity, and future hope are found in Christ!

“i'm a little broken but perhaps this is the best token.”

this stuck out to me. reminds me of when i tell myself inside that Jesus being my best friend, especially through the loneliness felt that He is my true comfort & can be my only. hugs, hugs, hugs ❤️‍🩹

Yes, He is our best friend.. always. But there is something about the blackness and having Him there. Such intimacy forms!
