God’s Up for the messy

Posted on by Timothy J. Verret
“Pigs are dirty….messy.” There’s a reason for this: According to Live Science, pigs wallow in mud because they lack vital sweat glands, and “wallowing in the mud” can lower their body temperature by up to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The protective mud also keeps insects away. So, next time you call someone “a pig,” please stick to the “messy” facts.

(God’s Sonnet by Timothy J. Verret; “it’s how I cope to hope in ‘messy weak living’ today so I can rely on God’s Perfect Power through Jesus Christ”)

You do all things messy; that is okay.

Can’t fault you for giving it all you got.

You’re not perfect nor were you made that way.

You’re not perfect power. Messy, your lot.

I do all things messy. Is that okay?

It’s got to be ’cause God says, “I clean you.”

Some days, I’m as dirty as a Monday.

All the days of the week, God’s my shampoo.

“Perfect Power cleans Up our messiness.”

God is Perfect Power through Jesus Christ.

When we claim “messy weakness,” dressiness.

God dresses us Up, all cleaned Up, sufficed.

We are all most assuredly “stressy.”

Be still. Be weak. God’s Up for the messy.
