There are often many thoughts and many questions that i don't take the time to voice. After time they settle down and i move on. The ones that don't eventually have to form words or they remain uncomfortable in my own heart.
This quote above has been one of those thinking places.
I sit with questions of how we define who is broken and who is great. Is it simply based in our own self defined labeling process primarily created to keep us safe and comfortable?
Is it based in fame or social economic standard? Or the quantity of things we see in another person that disagree with our own beliefs? What defines greatness? What defines brokenness?
I've been wrestling with this for some time. We as humans were created to reign and rule on this planet. The same price was paid for kings, drug addicts, presidents, prostitutes, church members, business owners, stay at home moms etc, to restore us to our rightful place.
If the price was the same shouldn't the value be the same? I've seen some of the most amazing people come from the most retched of pasts and horrible situations. So do we simply guess that those born into this societal "greatness" are some how different?
How would the world be different if we only saw the greatness people were created for instead of the brokenness were tend to label over people? Maybe brokenness can be better defined by those searching for their role in this great story. How would our own lives be different if we stood up and believed what we really are?
It is not humility to live as less than you were made to be. It is not power to see others as greater or lesser. What can we do to call out the greatness in other people instead of this presumed brokenness? How can we walk in our own greatness that God speaks over us today?
