Perfectly Imperfect
as inspired by To Dance With The Lord
I am perfectly imperfect
I know I battle my own demons
the lure
of being in control
of directing circumstances
most especially my loved ones.
the lure
so strong is its pull
and the constant struggle
leaves me drained, weak and dry
for how could my perfectly imperfect self
really control anything?
and in my total surrender
the One truly in control says to me
from John 16:33, Jesus said,
" I have told you these things,
so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I, Jesus, have overcome the world."
The power that created the universe
is bigger than anything in it
all I have to do is
let go and let God.
My external circumstances may or may not change
But only in my total surrender,
in my brokenness,
through my cracks
can the Living Water overflow.
I recognize now
this state of overflowing
requires continual "in-filling"
after all, I am perfectly imperfect,
leaking through my brokenness.
As long as I remember
to let go and let God,
He will bring me back to Him.
In my total surrender
In my perfectly imperfect state
I will dance with the Lord.
