Image

Your crown is lopsided

You have taken the role of someone who replaces their value for a cheap thrill of likes

The light you thought you spotted

Created a deeper hole

You became addicted to an image

That is just as broken as you are

Yet you think you have found peace

When you are trying to find a piece of you that have been lost

I get it though

The desire to be wanted and like sometimes produces this false perception of thinking the next person has it better

When We all have a hole that needs to be filled

Still

We find everything and anything to close it

Opposing the very one that created us in His image

Trust me

I get it

I get the need for validation

Because when you are validated

You feel accepted

But what happens when who you are accepted by becomes your God?

A facade in your mind that produces chaos in your heart

Far apart from the God who truly knows you

Loves you

And not that love that holds conditions hostage

But that love that renders unlimited supply

You’re more than what the media provides

And Yes we may be social butterflies

But not if we’re still stuck in a cocoon

Leaving no room to be the image we were meant to be

Where’s the key?

The key to unlocking what’s already inside of us

Didn’t you get the memo?

We are more than conquerors

Image bearers of a King

We are made to sing

in His tune

The melodies

of His heart

Which conveys

Acceptance

Like

Wanted

Love

All of the above

Because He above is the image we should be after
