Tenderly broken

There's a tenderness that comes after being broken. 

Sometimes you're taught rigid ideals and beliefs. Black and white. 

Brokenness breaks down the rigidness like a meat tenderizer softens tough meat. The process is painful and hard to experience, but after...

After you get it
After you understand
After you can sit in the pit with those that hurt and feel their pain with them

There's nothing that can connect people more than when you can understand their hurts, their pains. 

Connecting with someone's joy is easy. Nothing to it. 

Connecting with someone in pain means you feel it. You take on some of their pain. That's not easy. Who wants to do that?  

The broken. 

Because we know. 

We know what it feels like to be in such pain and turmoil and feel alone.  
No one should feel that way. 

So bring on your pain. 
Let me see it
Let me feel it
Let me bring you to the One who can heal it.

Connection

A like
A comment
A share

We all want connection

Like my mind
Comment on my heart 
Share my soul

Cheap connection 
Easy
Protected

You can't look in my eyes
See my heart
See my hurt
See my need

So I post
Giving a glimpse
Hoping someone sees just a little of what my eyes don't want to show

Still

A flame kindled
A passion ignited
A love renewed 

He's showing me His love 
He's on the pursuit 

My heart is His desire
As is His is mine. 

No chase
No games
No need to pretend

He knows all of me 
Yet loves me still
