Looking for God?
Go deeper.
Have courage
and go deeper,
turn inward.
To face your own brokenness
is to find God.
To face your own brokenness--
damage, pain, grief, loneliness, insecurity--
is to find God.
Recall Jesus' parable
of the publican and the Pharisee (Luke 18:9-14):
Who encountered God?
Was it the Pharisee,
careful keeper-of-rules,
upstanding champion of righteousness?
Or was it the publican,
welcomer of knee-shaking self-awareness,
brave embracer of yawning need?
To face your own brokenness
is to find God.
Be courageous,
go within,
find God.
