"Jesus came for the people who know how it feels when you say 'sin'"



Are you broken? Another absolute gem by Jude Simpson. Broken Open:

"Jesus came
for the insane, the unfulfilled, the searching
the street child, the tramp and the urchin,
the poor little rich girl snorting coke and
cursing, and the man who sold it to her.
Jesus came for those nursing a need,
nursing a drink
out of control,
on the blink,
on the brink,
falling overboard, and about to -
sobbing at the kitchen sink."
