In our lives there are many colors
They represent certain things
Yellow is for the brightness that shines in my soul
Blue is for the fierce emotions that rage beneath the surface
Red is for the love that consumes me
Orange symbolizes the hope Christ gives with each new day
Green is for the beauty that grows among the weeds
Black is for the hurt and pain
Purple is for the strength I have in Christ
These colors are fragile
Like glass they shine beautifully but they can break easily
Because sometimes things go wrong
The brightness in my soul grows dim
Or my emotions rise above the surface
And I begin to lose hope
The pain and hurt choke out the beauty and all that is left is the weeds
And I begin to lose sight of the strength Christ gives
My heart begins to break
Each piece falls to the floor
Shattering into millions of pieces
As each piece falls to the floor it makes my heart bleed
I fall to my knees searching for the broken pieces
One by one I slowly began to pick up the pieces
I place each piece back into the hand of God
The pieces don't go together like they once did
God holds all the pieces in His hands
The light begins to shine through once again
As the pieces begin to mix together
It's like a kaleidoscope
In the dark my life just looks like a broken mess
But when I let His light shine through
then you can see the true beauty
He makes something beautiful out of my brokenness
