we act our best
when we know we need to
when we know we need to
and it’s not completely a lie
but rather an appearance that
only shows the things we are most proud of in ourselves.
so at work
at events
in conversations
over coffee
over brews
sometimes over family dinners
we act our best
and then there are those other times where
we act ourselves
which is not different from our best
but includes the rest of us
the jealous of us
the insecure of us
the intimidated of us
the petty of us
the bitter of us
and also the best of us.
and every now and then
because God knows we need our sanity
we find those people who allow
the best of us
and the worst of us
the jealous of us and
the humble of us
the insecure of us and
the confident of us
the intimidated of us and
the empowered of us
the petty of us and
the courageous of us
the bitter of us and
the reflective of us
the best of us and
the worst of us.
and it’s the people
that holy few people
who know us completely
at our best and at our worst
that we rest in and
that we find ourselves in and
that we discover the courage
to seek first the kingdom with.
at our best and our not best.
