The Church
So beautiful,
yet so broken,
so many call it
home
yet others would
never step inside.
Chosen and created
by the Lord
His bride
loved, but not always
loving
Why does the place
that should bring healing
bring so much
pain
Yet it is so beautiful
when a church
embodies the love that
we are called to show
when it is a community that
accepts all and leaves
shame
at the door
a place where
the outside appearance
doesn’t matter and isn’t
judged
a body who worships
freely
without hiding the joy
and the tears
a refuge for those
who aren’t afraid
to admit all their
mistakes
a sanctuary where
no one puts on
a facade of
perfection
that is His church.
His church is beautiful
but has become broken,
just like His children
who are we to abandon
His bride whom He
loves so deeply
we are no better
because we are the ones
who make up His church
let’s be the generation that
chooses to fully embody
Christ’s love in His church
let’s accept
and forgive
and grow
and learn
and love so deeply
because His love for the church
is so overwhelming,
even through its brokenness,
because it is
beautiful.
