No one comes to God
in wholeness
no one approaches Him
without sin
for it is in our brokenness
that He calls us
to heal the wounds
we have within
in Christ our weakness
becomes His strength
through the cracks
the light shines in
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where in my own brokenness might Christ be inviting me to receive His healing and strength today?
Scripture:
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.’”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
I follow Christ
not because I am good
but because He is good
for on my own
my will led me to despair
desolation and self destruction
in my weakness
He is strong
in my mistakes
He is forgiving
in my grieving
He is my comfort
in my nothingness
I turned to Him
and He gave me everything
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection Question:
When have you most clearly experienced God’s strength working through your weakness?
