draw me gently to my knees and i am
lost for words so lost in love
i'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered
|Jeremy Riddle
i know that picture looks so bleak but that's how i feel sometimes...except there are a lot more pieces and the puzzle looks impossible to put back together. i'm done with trying to put the pieces back together myself. yes i'm broken, but that's where i need to be. i need to be desperate, i need to know without a doubt that there's no way i can do this on my own. i know that.
you know what katy perry? at least he's hot or he's cold. it's better to be hot or cold than lukewarm [revelation 3:15-16]. i never want to be lukewarm. being numb and oblivious is so much more dangerous that facing your fears and calling yourself on your emotions. fear isn't wrong...letting fear rule your life is wrong and so unfortunate. unfortunate because fear will hold us back from great things. sometimes i think...oh, i don't need to challenge myself like that, or i don't need to step out in faith right now, because my life is pretty good. it's good enough. that's crap! good is often the enemy of great. never settle. keep your feet moving, going....run.
being broken can be a very beautiful place. it's where i choose to lay down my pride and surrender. to become like a child, run to my Father's open arms, say "i'm here"...and then listen
