Devotion Poetry Broken or Whole

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 
—I Peter 2:24

God sees me as whole
But heals when I am broken
Offering forgiveness and hope.

I see myself as broken
Holding onto anger and hurt
Searing my soul.

Jesus, help me see myself
Through Your eyes
Broken, but whole within Your grace.

Thank you, Jesus, that in my brokenness, you are there.
