Earthen Vessel
Your cracks, even shards, are part of what makes you beautiful.
God uses broken vessels
and He infills them with gold.
He makes them more beautiful
than when they were whole.
...
Though I have cried a thousand pounds of tears,
I'm still here
because God cared,
and He hears me.
...
He sees me.
...
He loves me.
...
And I have laughed for a million hours
Because God never forgets what's ours.
The love He shared with my parents
Showers over me.
...
His goodness and mercy follow me.
...
His faithfulness covers me.
...
Love is safe when you've been selfish.
and dangerous when you throw your self aside.
I make a daring wish
and I decide to throw my self aside.
...
For I am not the only one who is bright.
There are those who are able to blind with their light.
I only hope that what shines from within is Christ,
for love is what outshines the darkness of night.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
