There are two ways to look at that statement. There are those that agree and those that are wrong. I know it is a bold statement to make, to say that no matter who is reading this that they are broken, but I believe I would have an easier time proving it true than you will to refute it.
This life as I have said before is HARD. That statement is never going to stop being true never going to stop being painful and as long as you have life in you, you will have struggles. These struggles are meant for us to grow, to change, to learn to adapt. Through these struggles we are broken and realize the severity of the break. We see that some pieces are no longer there, that we would’ve sworn they were there just a second ago. We realize how much our brokenness affects those around us and changes how we deal with people. We also see how is tints our lenses we look at the world through. This brokenness is common in everyone, the amount, the severity and the effects may differ.
When we see the brokenness we see our flaws, we see our struggles, we see our shortcomings, and we see where we have been let down. What we need to realize is there is so much goodness in the broken. There is so much strength that we can use to help others. We can find so much beauty in everyday that we can share with those around us. We find so much love when we are broken that we are so happy to be able to share with those we hold dear. We also find grace, hope, and God’s Love. We find that we couldn’t get through it alone and owe all of the Glory to him.
Like all of his other gifts they are not meant for us. He holds us together so that we can share all that he has given us to others so they may get to know him, so they will know that unconditional love, so they will find peace and strength in the broken.
I love you.
