We are broken
…and beloved
we are bruised
…and blessed
we are belittled
…and bold
we are blistered
…and blooming
we are stumbling
…and steady
we are restless
… and rooted
we are desperate
…and determined
we are groaning
…and growing
we are tired
…and triumphant
we are needy
…and nurtured
we are lamenting
…and laughing
We are us and we are His.
We are His and we are one another's.
Because we are all of these things, we remember that we are human.
Perhaps it is because we are human that we are all of these things.
