Broken – v2

I have so often called myself broken,
shattered, in so many pieces,
I have defined myself as unrepairable,
lost in my sin, my rebellion, unworthy,
but that is not a name, a word,
God has spoken over my life…
 
In the silence of meditation, in prayer,
in the stillness, the shadows,
I felt Jesus telling me, whispering,
that name I have spoken
the word “broken” was a lie,
that I must change my thinking…
 
The Spirit broke through the silence,
in my spirit with my eyes closed,
gifting me a message, a prayer,
the word Jesus imparted over me,
was that I am “a gift”, a blessing,
to be poured on the earth…
 
I must remember this moment,
a truth, a revelation to cherish,
the words of release rising,
filling me, reminding me,
I need to see myself, my life,
from the perspective of God…
 
I have meaning, a purpose,
a calling for the kingdom,
a way to serve man and God,
if I am willing, if I believe…
I must strive to be that vessel,
to be filled, to be poured…
