Shattered pieces
Shards of clay
Life has handled us roughly
The once smooth texture
Now riddled with a thousand cracks
Damaged goods
Too far gone
We slide to the back of the shelf
Hide ourselves behind the unbroken pots
And we give up on ourselves
But He doesn’t
He searches in the shadows
For those who hide
For those whose confidence has shattered
To bring restoration and to bring new hope
Cracks of shame
Filled with the clay of grace
Old scars of torment
Now our tale of redemption
We step forward
Back into the light
🙂
Amen

Love this! Your poem reminded me of a blog I read a month back about the art of Kintsukoroi in which the cracks of broken pottery are filled with gold. Our cracks truly are our tale of redemption. He makes them beautiful.
