Broken

Henri Nouwen once said, "Our life is full of brokenness- broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations. How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives? "

 

When we come with true humility to seek God in our brokenness, God will be there to cheer us and encourage us.

 

For this is what the high and exalted one says,

the one who rules forever, whose name is holy:
“I dwell in an exalted and holy place,
but also with the discouraged and humiliated,
in order to cheer up the humiliated
and to encourage the discouraged."

Isaiah 57:15 (NET)

 

Our Creator takes a special interest in those who are hurting and need help. Let the Master Technician (Spirit of God) bring about the necessary repairs to our broken lives, and create space for Him to work and speak His Word into our hearts. In doing so, we will experience God's healing.
