You Do Not Have to Be Shiny

When we see 
we have a Good Shepherd, 
we don’t have to shove 
our way to significance. 

In Jesus’ flock, you do not 
have to be shiny to be seen.

He seeks out the struggling,
not the strong. This is a flock 
where you do not have to 
fight to be found.

@kjramseywrites from her book “Common Courage”

So…I received this book in the mail and my first thought was “wait….didn’t K.J. just release a book last year?”

She…secretly wrote another book? While writing another book!? Is this another amazing @conrad_garner cover!? 🤯🤯🤯

I guess it’s all those things! This one is different though; it’s a collection of images and poems and can be read in pieces (like I’ve been doing) or just ran through at once. I’m not much a poetry guy but gotta be honest; these hit pretty hard. 

Take a break from twitter (or leave completely like I’m doing) and pick up this book to spend your time in instead; it would be worth it. 🙏🏻

Note: Sorry K.J. for changing the format of your words; I know the spacing is intentional but I couldn’t make it work in a speech bubble. 🤦🏻‍♂️
