Some of you know of my strange but loving obsession with farm fresh eggs. I love the ones that are multicolored. Each one is unique, yet the same. This morning I was cooking eggs and something struck me about there being three left in the carton. An odd number, three.
A divine number.
So as I cooked I looked over at the cracked eggs and thought how much like the eggs my life is.
It’s all broken, slimy, crooked. Oh, it often looks neat from the outside but when you look inside? Hmmmm…..makes a girl want to run and hide. Or does it? Maybe it’s in this broken slimy place that I feel God’s radiant love shining into my life. He doesn’t expect me to be perfect, knows I can never be even when I strive for perfection. I really believe when I stop pretending I feel Him the most. I take off all the masks and allow His light to fill me. The slime seems less slimy, the edges less rough and the crookedness a uniqueness given only by Him.
What about you? Are you hiding? Can you feel the freedom of letting “perfection” go?
