call and response

my current state:

"
5 Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the LORD my God 6 and prayed:
"O my God, I am too ashamed and disgraced to lift up my face to you, my God, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens." - Ezra 9


god's consistent answer:

"11
Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers." - Hebrews 2

you, jesus, my brother? i feel like mom and dad would like you better if we were siblings. but that's not what you tell me. we are akin, equally beloved. help me cast off this baggage, brother.
