Transparent – v4

We are called to be transparent,
for us to receive true healing,
to be honest with one another,
trusting that they will not harm us,
that our secrets are safe with them,
for us to be restored, made whole,
to trust in the healing process…
 
I want to live my life transparent,
to admit my scars, my stains,
where I am broken, jagged,
to be fully, totally, honest,
fighting the lies, curses over me,
to free me of their power
their control over my life…
 
I want to be transparent,
with myself, and all others,
to be open, brutally honest,
to be emptied, to be filled,
to be a witness to God's grace,
God's love for every prodigal,
everyone broken like me...
 
I strive to be transparent, honest,
the truth of my sins, my failings,
the scars, the weights I have carried,
with every word I offer, my words,
authentic, real, true and open,
so that others will find peace,
living their lives transparent too…
