God wants you
You in your imperfect, broken, shimmering glory
Nadia
Bolz-Weber, Accidental Saints, p.169

God wants you
not just the parts of you that are joyful
and gracious
not just the self that you present to the world
filtered
and ultimately false
but God wants you
all of you
the good
and the bad
the generous and the stingy
the forgiving and the bitter
the one who loves
and the one who hugs hate to his or her heart
the strong and the weak
you need hide nothing
you need hold nothing back
Sacred Presence is ready to enfold
to comfort
to transform
to empower
so that you can,
broken open by love,
allow your
shimmering glory
to shine in a darkening world
