Broken, God’s Reply

This poem is a what I imagine might be God’s reply to the poem Broken* posted a few weeks ago.

Broken, God’s Reply

I am the Living Presence,
I am with you now and forever.

You are forgiven.
You have been made well.
I long to sojourn with you.
One day the world with be a new creation.

Your brokenness allows Me in.
I have wrapped My loving arms around you.
I have sent others to minister to you.
My love knows no limits.

You are called to be you.
You are My child.
You are My hands and feet in a broken world.
We are drawing closer as time goes on.

I am walking with you.
I am present to you.
I have made you whole.
In your surrender, you will find delight.

I am the Living Presence,
I am with you now and forever.

Broken*

I am a broken man,
Yet I am who You create me to be.

I am broken because I have failed You.
I am broken because of my afflictions.
I am broken because You want my attention.
I am broken because I live in a broken world.

Though I am broken, I am whole!
Held together by Your loving hands.
The hands of those You have brought around me.
Your love will not fail me.

Remind me of who I am.
Remind me to whom I belong.
Remind me of why I am.
Remind me of who I am becoming.

LORD, walk beside me this day.
Yahweh, let me be present to You.
Abba Father, let me be whole in my brokenness.
Living Presence, let me be surrendered to You.

I am a broken man,
Yet I am who you created me to be.
