cracks

vases
holding more than they can.
you can't even see the vase itself.
so God takes some stuff out.
some water.
some flowers.
why?
let the water move.
let the flowers breathe.
looks better too.
feels better too.

vases
we all have cracks.
the things we try to hold keep making them bigger.
and God tries to help us by taking things out.
so reluctant we are.
he finally does.
cuz he loves us.
cuz he loves us.
and only now do we see the cracks.
what was keeping the vase together in the first place?

no way to mend these cracks.
but you can start seeing through them.
and see
God's Grace
God's Faithfulness
God's Glory.

today,
i realize how many cracks i have.
i knew i had a lot...
but i keep finding more.
i think he's letting me know so i don't break the vase.
because even one crack too big can break the entire vase.

so won't you shine through.
i'm blind without you.
