From Ann voskamps blog, "a holy experience" ...
You are wanted when you don’t want to be you.
You are picked when you feel picked apart and glossed over and not good enough.
Your name is called when you’ve had lies in your head for years calling you names.
You are loved when you feel unlovely and unloveable.
You belong as you are — even when you long to be someone else.
You are broken —- and Chosen.
You don’t have to hide your brokenness —- because it doesn’t change your chosenness.
You don’t have to hide your brokenness —- because it doesn’t change your chosenness.
You don’t have to deny your brokenness — because nothing can ever deny you of your chosenness.
You don’t have to fear your brokenness — because there’s nothing that can undo your chosenness.
That is all: You are broken — and Chosen.
There’s nothing to ever fear ever again.
Broken. And Chosen.
The End.
And — the very beginning of everything we’ve ever wanted, this being deeply wanted.
