Valued.

One word could express how God views us.
But instead we fill our minds with a million others.

Unwanted, Lacking
Useless, Failure,
Unlovable, Worthless.

The whisper of the One
Is drowned out by the many.

Shouting accusatory voices.
Murderous hateful thoughts
that self condemn.

Blistering bruises
Seeping their ill-effects
Destroy.

Yet, the beauty of the One.
The unadulterated purity of its meaning.
Remains. Refusing to crumble.

Despite the lies.
The truth shines.

One.
That’s all it takes for many to lose their strength.
That’s all it takes for the others to be silenced.
