poverty and dance

May all your expectations
be frustrated.
May all you plans be thwarted
May all of your desires
be withered into nothingness,
that you may experience the powerlessness and
poverty of a child and sing and dance
in the love of God the Father,
the Son and the Spirit.

I've been experiencing this sort of
powerlessness/poverty as of late.
and as many other themes I see in Jesus' life, the theme of
brokenness, is one I'd rather avoid. It's one I'd rather
maybe not completely understand
and only admire from a distance...
yet, i trust you God and i wait.
