I'm prideful. And selfish. Controlling. And stubborn.
The things I criticize others for are the exact things I sometimes do, too.
Certain struggles continue to be wrapped around me like a vine.
Even though I know what is wrong, I still do.
I don't evaluate my capacity and measure it to reality.
Unspoken expectations make unrealistic demands of myself.
The truth is, I am human.
Planned for a place in today. And prepared to fulfill a role.
Most importantly, purposed to know love.
Broken, selfish, messy, chaotic, shifty . . .
A Hand-selected rock meant for this story. His story.

Amy, the truth of your words went straight to my heart. I also intimately experience the reality that "The things I criticize others for are the exact things I sometimes do, too. Certain struggles continue to be wrapped around me like a vine." Blessings to you. Stopping by from Five Minute Friday.
ReplyDeleteYou are one beautiful rock, and I'm no different than you. We are ALL prideful, selfish, stubborn - we are human. It's so nice to know that God doesn't look at us that way. He sees just beauty - and loves us unconditionally just as we are. Sweet words here, friend. I love you girl!
ReplyDeletepurposed to know love...oh yes. And I am broken, messy and selfish right along with you.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this..."A Hand-selected rock meant for this story. His story." I'm so thankful He uses my brokenness to do some good in this world.
