Broken-Throw Away?


We live in a 'throw away' society.....things broken, old, lost value...or unwanted are constantly disposed.  Spiritually, we will all be broken at times-the good news is that God still sees value in each and every human being and He will never discard/throw us out. Matter of fact-God uses the broken for His purpose/plans.  Whether its broken pitchers (Judges 7), tables of stone (Exodus 32), David's broken heart (Psalm 51),  an alabaster box (Mark 14),  the broken body of Jesus on Calvary to institute the Lord's Supper (Matt 26), or us at times when we are/feel broken....... He has plans for us all-He knows these plans to the very end and he has the best in mind for us--for good/to prosper us/not to harm/to give hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).  Caveat- we will not have a trial free life on this earth where we will not experience hurt.  Contrast to the society we live in, God will simply keep opening His arms, waiting for us to come to Him.  He will embrace and love us--ALWAYS!  Through our Savior, we can always go from broken-to obedient-to embraced-to valued/treasured.......by our loving God. While it's true that 'all the king's horses and men could not put Humpty Dumpty back together again--God can and will put our lives back together if we seek Him and are obedient (not perfect) followers.  John 8:10-11 tells of a broken woman-Jesus shows her compassion-He came to save us, not to condemn.  Are you daily engaging in a relationship with Jesus?    Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
