During one of YouTube binge streaks I was on, I found a YouTuber that I really enjoy. His name is Jon Jorgenson and he does Christian Spoken word poetry. One of my favorite videos of his is called "A Million Pieces" (Link is Below) One thing I love about this spoken word poetry is how he makes being broken a glorious event.
When we look back in our lives, we can easily name every mistake and every broken piece in our life. There are many parts of our life that we want to hide from people because we are ashamed of who we are. Yet Jon talks about how our brokenness is a reflection of God's glory. Our brokenness shows how God can use anyone to work for his glory.
Another thing about spoken word poetry is the power behind the words that are spoken. When we speak in a church or in a lecture, the words are very even and it can be very dry. Yet the power and the rhythm causes all to pay attention to the words being said. And another part of poetry is all the metaphors that are used. Listening to the metaphors shows that I am more than i can ever be. We get so trapped up in doubting who we are as human, that thinking about us in a different way allows for other ideas of who we are can enter our head.
So as you go throughout your week, know that you are more beautiful being broken because God is still able to use you in ways you never imagine. And I encourage you to take some time on YouTube and listen to some spoken word poetry because it is a great way to gain a new view of the word.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving me in all my brokenness. Help me to view myself the way you view me and to see how you can use someone that is broken to a million pieces. Thank you for the people who also create art on YouTube to help us be encourage in our walk with you.
