things that are

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
He chose the lowly things of this world and
the despised things—and

the things that are not

—to nullify the things that are
so that no one may boast before him.
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus,
who has become for us wisdom from God
—that is, our righteousness,
holiness and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written:
"Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 1:27-31

so basically, i feel like a bucket of "things that are not"

but in return im realizing
just how blessed i am with an even bigger bucket of "things that are"
