Glory in Brokenness
Glory in Brokenness
I have chosen you. Not just the perfect. Not just the gifted. Everyone. Including you.
Ephesians 1:4-5 (NIV)
Dear God, Let us be a people who live to glorify you not just in the beautiful but also in the brokenness. Let us reach out in love to our brothers and sisters as we enter into this Holiday season. Let us bring light to someone who desperately needs it. Let us be your reflection. Amen.
Yet, God tells us in his word, I am here. I am unchanging. Your life, your brokenness is for my glory. Sometimes God’s glory shines more brightly in the cracks of our lives. When we find ourselves walking a path we never knew existed, we find ourselves walking with God. Trust. Hope. Believe. But know that even if God doesn’t change your circumstances, He is good. He is truth. He is love. Always.
Whether you find yourself in a season of brokenness or a season of wholeness, God is for you. He’s created us to show his love to each other. Who did he put in your life for you to bless? Whose day needs brightened by your call, your message, your words, or your time? My prayer is that this holiday season would be filled with love for each of you. Even if that love looks very different than you imagined.
