The Strong Broken Vessle. By Christopher John Jordan As this man stands and delivers Gods Word to those that need to hear because they sit and shiver , bc they are broken and disturbed full of fear and shattered with tears. They see a man strong and brave and bold but somehow they cant look deep inside and see his soul. How it is full of chaos & tug of wars. There was Something that was strong and much more .. that crushed his heart & torn in half. Left him broken crying on the floor. Crying out ... beggin God to be restored. In the small corner of his heart theres a light. That has yet be shattered when things got tight. but Its grown dim bc of the storms at night...yet he still has site but full of fright . The hope of Gods word seems to trickle out and gives him hope. Just enough so he can cope. Like the vessel of Noahs boat. Most just see him smiling and happy & bold but not broken dying and growing old. As he walks away hiding his damaged heart. He still has enough faith God will restore and fill his heart but as he waits in the dark ..... he is always looking at the light so he dont fall apart. As he washeshis face off with water he tastes the salty tears running into his mouth. Only for a second he spits them out. Looking down at the water he sees someone elses reflection behind him now understanding someone has found him. As he understands he doesnt have to hide anymore. As he walks away he breathes in..... and out. Without fear this man knew without a doubt that God came and saved him when he was down and out. Even though the man still has scars andrejection of love that Keeps him inside of bars. Like a jail cell full of pain knowing that Jesus understands bc he brings the rain. See my Lord was rejected when he loved.... full of scars angels watched from above when Jesus stretched his arms out so far . Jesus died for bc he knew I wouldnt get that far. I may look like a hypocrite to some but you have to understand my pain and hurt sometimes makes me dumb. Dont get me wrong. I do love I do forgive and I know i am a child his. I know Gods grace but sometimes I feel so alone I have to hide my face. Screaming out in silence nobody hears me but somehow my lord comes and carries me. Throughout my day somehow The Lord makes my pain go away. The Holy Spirit falls on me like rain. Im able once again to stand against the grain. The confusion and the fog that I stand in. Has No place with me at the end. One thing about being strong for others nobody ever stops to ask you are you okay brother.... They automatically expect you to just be ok . Just Keep pressing on so they can keep asking for advice to another day They Would say. So as I place the towel on the sink. Having this moment with the Lord he gave me clarity to think. As I turn to the switch on the wall to kill the light. Somehow I knew I will not fall and everything would be alright. As I go out and greet the world I can see now I can never back down. I will have to lift my chin praise my God and say Amen. A. Soul That was tattered and torn. Like dry leaves in a winter storm. Understanding that me and you have the same heart its our eyes of God that sets us apart. No matter What I may love and be my God is my main objective to me. As I made it through one more day. As I lay down at night and I slip away. Wondering how God found me when I went astray. I know tomorrow when I get up I will find away but honestly deep in my heart I wait for Jesus to come back and take me away. ..................... I wrote this this morning sitting in the church parking lot its real as I can be now I hope you can see the real me.
