Excuse Me Do You Have the Time?
“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are your works, And my soul knows it very well” - Psalm 139:13-14
Take a look a good look
at what’s in front of you,
and tell me what you see.
You simply tell me that
these are just a bunch
of Random Scraps.
Nothing more,
Nothing less
Just a ton of tiny mechanical pieces,
rusted gears, torn up copper wire,
rusted metal springs
etc., etc.
Just a bunch of
random
useless
worn out
Scraps.
You’re right.
They are “scraps”, they are “old parts”
They are “junk”
They are also-
our “flaws”
our “imperfections”
our “mistakes”.
They are all the unfair hurt and pain and leftover scraps of life
and crushed hopes and dreams
we’ve barely managed to recover from the fire
But what if I told you,
that there’s even more to these
“useless scraps” (of life)?
What if I told you
that these “Random useless scraps”
aren’t so useless after all?
Would you believe me?
No?
Well then-
let me show you!
Let me ask you this-
What do we get, when we take
our flaws such as,
a speech impediment,
with the constant hurtful lies that we’ve been told
CLICK CLICK
Lies saying you’re not good enough
CLICK CHINK
with the pain we’ve endured from having to struggle
just to get by
CLICK CHINK CLICK
along with our dreams that life crushed
and forced us to watch?
CHINK CHINK CLICK CHINK CLICK CLICK CHINK
TIC-TOC. TIC-TOC. TIC-TOC
A ticking bronze mechanical MASTERPIECE.
The masterpiece that is YOU.
The masterpiece that is in ALL of us.
The best things in life, including life itself,
are best made from scraps.
So let’s rewind.
Take a good look at what’s in front of you.
Take a good MINUTE to examine it…
And tell me what you see
And if you have the time.
