For a Friend

Written By Benny Bowden

So, life is messy.

Messy is real.
Messy is normal.
Messy is no joke.
Messy is a phase.
Messy is a compass.
Messy is overcome-able.
Messy is a good reminder…

…to give and receive your own grace,
Because life might be messy,
But you are not.

You are here,
Right where you are needed,
Headed in the perfect direction.

And messy brought you to it.
