I'm standing there before them, smashing through defenses and screens and projections that I've built over the years.
I'm smashing through the years of faking strength and hiding tears and blood. I'm smashing through it all.
It's time to let them see, time to let the whole world see that I'm the same as everyone else.
I'm a heart bleeding on the floor.
I'm a heart blue and black staining a floor red.
No more lies that the world doesn't hurt. No more pretense that the abuse was minimal. No more hiding the story of more people than we care to imagine.
Those stories are true, and if we who have them hide them, the world is the worse for it.
Because as my bloodied, blackened heart is shown, so too is the Hand of the Master Healer who is tenderly sowing the pieces back together. The Hand of the Master Healer who is lovingly closing the wounds and creating something beautiful with the scars.
Shown too is the Blood of the Lamb crucified at Golgotha, the Blood that is taking my Red stains and washing them White.
Shown too is the Light of the God who stepped down into Darkness, into my Darkness, and filled it with His Light.
And I'm still smashing those defenses, I'm still cutting through the screens and the projections, but one day they'll all be gone.
One day you will all be able to see the embroidery of the scars on my heart, the white washed floor on which I sit, and you'll know that our God is a God of Love, of Power and of Faith, because I am just a heart bleeding on the floor of Life, same as you.
