I am broken and fervently trying to patch up the cracks with good deeds so no one sees the chasms within.
This messy heart is juxtaposed with a redeemed soul, a beautiful tragedy.
I make futile efforts to scrub up my own mess but the dirt piles up continually.
But the light in the cracks and buried under the dirt and deeds refuses to be extinguished. It shines steadily, and my soul testifies to redemption when my weary flesh cannot.
I don’t need to strive to shine, because he is shining for me.
I don’t need to strive to clean the mess, because he has cleansed me.
