Brokenness
Stop trying to hide it
Stop trying to pretend like all the pieces fit together
Instead, we say God this is the broken pieces
I mean, you ask a kid who breaks something, they know what to do with it
You hide it and you hope no one finds out about it and that’s what we do, we try to hide it
And as a result we’re the most medicated, the most in debt, the most addicted people in human history
That’s what happens when you try to hide your brokenness, it doesn’t work
You can hide the pieces and you can keep pretending like everything's ok
Or or you can say to the potter, will you make this into another jar? one that seems right to you
We understand that we are all broken, all have struggles, all have failures, all have disappointments
Most of us are one paycheck away, one divorce, one drug addicted kid, one mental health diagnoses, one serious illness, one sexual assault, one drinking binge, one night of unprotected sex, or one affair from being those people
The one’s where you don’t trust, the one’s that we pity, the one’s we don’t let our children play with, the one’s bad things happen to, the one’s we don’t want living next door
We are those people
You are them
Look around
We’re all broken
