Beautiful Brokenness

”Meth heads” — “tweakers” With blackened teeth Incessantly scratching “Junkies” Arms and legs lined with heroin tracks Disgusted The world turns away But, who is He— reaching out with scarred hands? The Wounded embraces the wounded Potential of beauty seen Healing touch Enveloping grace Redeeming love Scarred faces, arms, legs, souls Infused with the Savior’s love Beautiful brokenness.

The world. The church. My heart. Filled with judgement, self-importance, scorn We who think we are beautiful Oozing putrid pride Come to the One Reaching out with scarred hands Bring Him your bleeding souls The Wounded embraces the wounded Potential of beauty seen Healing touch Enveloping grace Redeeming love Scarred hearts and minds Infused with the Savior’s love Beautiful brokenness.
