Today’s word is “BROKEN” Ready, set, GO:
Broken.
We come in to this world already broken. And the hammers of life continue to break our lives, our hearts, into millions of different pieces.
We scramble to try to hold them all together, to piece them back and make them stick with whatever we can find. We carry the baggage of our sin and the sin that others have committed against us. We bring with us the hurt, abandonment, abuse and grief. Until one day, we fall at the foot of the cross. With our broken selves. We wonder if HE can put them back together, if HE can make them stick and if it will stay that way.
God fixes us. He fixes our broken hearts, our wounded souls and wipes the tear stains away. When God fixes our brokenness, we are completely whole…he finds the pieces, each one and puts them together one by one until we are like new again.
The same insults may come our way, we might still be sick, hurt, abandoned or abused. We might still walk through trials…we aren’t promised “easy” but we are promised that we will never, ever, again be
Broken.

Great post, Erin. I am so thankful that God does not leave us broken nor does he allow brokenness without purpose.
It is an amazing truth- that Jesus’ body breaking for us is the only thing that could heal our broken pieces. Glad you brought us back to that moment with your writing today.

So glad He wipes our tears and holds us close. He is our Healer. Blessings as you encourage others in your writing. I see so much brokenness around these days and oh, how we all need encouragement.
