people say "if it's not one thing, it's another"
when i view my glass half empty, i see all the flaws
with everything, there seems to be some curse
things seem to be more difficult or complicated than they should be
every transaction contains a hiccup
when i view my glass half full, i see beauty in the cracks
with everything, there seems to be some blessing
things seem to be full of opportunity or splendidly weaved together
every transaction contains a smile
whether we view our glass half empty or half full,
the water is only at the halfway point
this morning i was thinking about the half empty
why things aren't clean cut and simple
and just in general why something always seems to be going wrong
then i was reminded
this world is hurting and filled with broken people
things are not as they were meant to be
i was reminded that we live in the "already, not yet", at the halfway point
this is not heaven and it is not the new earth
the refraction from the brokenness
cast light upon my heart
pointing to the hope that lies ahead
