did you ever look at your shadow walking along beside you, following you...? did you like what you saw...? it might be long and contorted, short and fat, sideways. diagonal. oblong. demented. strange.
do you ever feel that way inside. you can't quite grasp yourself. you feel ugly. weird. long. fat. contorted. sideways. diagonal. you don't know which way is up. you don't like yourself...?
I do.
sometimes i look inside and i see a shadow of myself. i don't see who i am. i see a poor boy crying for help. i see pain and suffering and struggle and hopelessness. i see a stale life. i see loneliness and hurt. much of it is self inflicted. it is a lie. false. untrue. wrong. incorrect.
how does our Lord and Savior see us. much different i think. strong. smart. athletic. artsy. wonderful. playful. creative. his image is much better than mine.
i hope i see it someday. can't wait to see it.
