Glue and Beautiful You

Shed that which doesn’t serve you, and find your glue.

Glue and Beautiful You…

The bracelet broke off
And maybe perhaps it brought a hanging cloak of guilt along with it
Maybe perhaps it freed me from all of the negative views of my life
Maybe perhaps it drowned some of the "you should's" amidst the strife
Maybe it vanquished my feelings of weakness
And made me realize my beauty
Maybe it killed the mornings of staying in bed because it was the easy thing to do
Maybe when the bracelet broke, my heart did too.

But maybe that's what's supposed to happen when you find some new glue
For you can't glue something that hasn't been broken
And you can't hear words that haven't been spoken
What if the bracelet broke so that I could be new?  
What if I'm stronger than even my glue?

How beautiful I am to have shed these things
To look across the field and not be ashamed
To see the beauty and the light inside
To not let my glue melt when the fire resides
To have hope and faith in the beauty of tomorrow
In the promise of the call in my heart
And the resounding hollows
How beautiful I am to finally see
The beauty that surrounds me
That beauty that is me.

Good morning, friend. What do you need to shed today? What would allow your beauty to more strongly shine through you? What is blocking you from doing the things you need and want to do?

How much stronger would you be if you gave credit to the wounds that have made you and let them weave into the fabrics of the glue that holds you together? How much more easily could you wait out the storm and the impending weather?

What can you shed today to let your beauty and your inner light shine?

Praying that you find peace in letting go of that which doesn’t serve you, and instead choose to honor your glue. May you find comfort in this affirmation of God’s love if it so speaks to you….

“I am restored and redeemed.

He still thinks the world of me.”

Love and Peace,
