Totality

We failed to understand that God loves us in our totality and is willing and able to help us in everything we do, that God will help us with every decision, even food choices and amounts. ~ The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Locations 214-215).

Loved in my totality,
including blemishes,
scabs, festering wounds...
and counting exceptional clarity
surprising to me, stunning,
things that couldn't have come from me...
but they did. Not through my doing,
though — though on rare occasions
that could have been true.
I trust from this point on
the joyous time, the recognition
are God's, not mine,
and I've got sense enough
to know.
