lack of hope and faith breaks my heart
rejection, abjection, and corruption of this world
those cast aside because they are weak
those cast aside because they are unclean
those cast aside because they are unworthy
those cast aside because they are broken
those cast aside because they are deemed a worthless cause
being ignored and at times ridiculed by those who call themselves righteous
the hearts of those cast aside are the most open to the truth
they desire to be strong, clean, worthy, put together, and a cause worth fighting for
give a care, get your hands dirty in the work that God deems holy and true
perfection is found in living your life following Christ
He did not stand on the corner like the pharisees praying so all can see
He went into the darkest places on earth and brought light
the stories of old are those who were in the darkest places in their lives
brought to the light because of the one we call the Messiah
We are all broken in some way,
searching for a way to piece ourselves together
but we fail time and time again,
tripping over our pride
We have all experienced our own hells,
where we feel like we are drowning,
the only one that can save us,
willingly gave his life for us,
loves us unconditionally,
looks at the condition of our heart,
that hears our every cry,
He has won the battle,
and is merely asking for our acceptance
that he is the victor over death
that he has defeated the morning star
He waits patiently until you let him in
and accept the gift of life
we are all dead without him
but with his grace and mercy
we shall live forever in his glory
Amen
