maybe it’s ok

I am sure that our suffering now cannot be compared to the shining-greatness that He is going to give us.

- Romans 8:18 (NLV)

 

We have all been through a lot during our time on earth.

Some have faced more struggles, and some have had a harder time dealing with them.

If anyone claims they have never struggled, they are likely not telling the whole truth.

Each of us carries a sense of brokenness and has experienced some form of rejection.

In 2019 the band We Are Messengers released a song called Maybe It’s OK, the lyrics hit home:
If I didn't know what it hurt like to be broken

Then how would I know what it feels like to be whole

If I didn't know what it cuts like to be rejected

Then I wouldn't know the joy of coming home

Maybe it's okay if I'm not okay

'Cause the One who holds the world is holding onto me

Maybe it's all right if I'm not all right

'Cause the One who holds the stars is holding my whole life

If I didn't know what it looked like to be dirty

Then I wouldn't know what it feels like to be clean

And if all of my shame hadn't drove me to hide in the shadows

Then I wouldn't know the beauty of being free

Maybe it's okay if I'm not okay

'Cause the One who holds the world is holding onto me

Maybe it's all right if I'm not all right

'Cause the One who holds the stars is holding my whole life

Father, let Your kingdom come

Let Your will be done

Here in my heart as in Heaven

Father, let Your kingdom come

Let Your will be done

Here in my heart as in Heaven, oh

Maybe it's okay if I'm not okay

'Cause the One who holds the world is holding onto me

Maybe it's all right if I'm not all right

'Cause the One who holds the stars is holding my whole life

Now I'm alive in You

We're bursting at the seams

Now I'm alive and I can see You in everything

Maybe it's okay if I'm not okay

You see, that is the glory of our Father, He loves us, through our brokenness, our rejection, when we are dirty and hiding,

He loves us and will bring us through, holding us up through the pain.

It’s ok, we don’t carry our burdens alone when we are with Him.
