"No pain is wasted." Rick Warren
Saddleback CR Summit
In the midst
of my failure
I reached for you
Pulling me from
the wreckage
Picking up
the pieces
of my brokenness
Gluing the
shattered fragments
of my soul
Knitting my
torn emotions
Weaving the strands
of my mind
Molding the clay
of my character
Sealing the cracks
of my faith
the healer
the redeemer
the saving grace
Taking my pain
using it for good
not wanted for me
yet never wasted
