We run away
from our regrets
thinking we can hide
our shame
if only we get far enough
away
covering up our wounds
with fig leaves
grief and blame
not knowing that we are seen
loved and cherished
in our nakedness
in our brokenness
and that only
the God of mercy
gets to give us
our eternal name
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
How can accepting our brokenness and trusting in God’s mercy transform our sense of identity and inner peace?
