Sometimes, most times, when I think back to the people that I loved, the person that I was… I feel like I’m reading the pages of a book written about someone else’s life.I can’t believe that was me. I can’t believe that was you. I can’t believe there was an us.It’s not that I regret it. It just doesn’t feel like it happened to me and yet, I can’t forget it. I feel like it’s still refracting and reflecting back on me, haunting me.Jesus intercepted my mind, my thoughts, my mistakes, my shame. He’s changed me from the inside out. But I’m afraid you still see the stain.Lord, let them see my heart, look at You and Your still-in-progress work of art. Help us all to look beyond our burned bridges, charred reputations, scattered shards of memories, and gaze at the One who took on the weight of all the hate to find the freedom in redemption that we all crave.
