Walking on eggshells
Have you ever done it?
Has anyone ever done it around you?
Tip~toeing around
somebody
pretending that they are not there
to not make waves
to not ruffle feathers
to not stir the pot
Walking on eggshells
Just think about it~
Walking on eggshells
is
walking
on something that is already broken
so it will
will make a crackling noise
no matter how hard you try.
What more damage can you do to something that is already broken?
You can't put the egg back together
You can't fix the someone
who is already broken~
but what if the someone is you?
What if God
Walked on eggshells
around you and me~
not wanting to
make waves
or ruffle our feathers
or to stir the pot,
pretending we are not there?
But He did...
He made great waves
He ruffled a lot of feathers
He stirred the pot
the moment
He came to earth
to walk it boldly
to make whole all that is broken~
Me
You
and the ones who we are
Walking on eggshells
around.
Walking on eggshells~
walking on something that is already broken.
I think Adam and Eve
invented it,
the moment that they were broken
after that first bite,
but
God
called out
"Where are you?" Genesis 3:9
instead of
Walking on eggshells
even though
they immediately
Walked on eggshells
in fear of
their
Creator
in their lack of
trusting the
One
who said
It is good Genesis 1
the moment He created them
the moment He created us.
Walking on eggshells~
Failing to trust the one who we are walking on eggshells around
because the relationship is based on
Fear
Doubt
Worry.
Walking on eggshells:
"To be overly careful in dealing with a person or situation because they get angry or offended very easily; to try very hard not to upset someone or something."
God failing to trust the ones whom
He loves~
to save themselves~
so
He sends
Jesus
to be broken
so that I
so that you
don't have to
be broken.
So who are you walking on eggshells around?
Could it be God?
Fearful of
Doubtful of
all
Who He says He is
the moment
He
poured out
His grace
on the ones
who are
Walking on eggshells~
the me
the you
the everyone
who leave
out
trust
in order to keep
Walking on eggshells.
So let's bring
our brokenness~
our shells~
to the
One Who
doesn't
Walk on eggshells
and
Put On
trust.
"Bring your tired And bring your shame Bring your guilt And bring your pain Don’t you know that’s not your name You will always be much more to me"
