It isn't about ME.
And I am not coming from a
"woe is ME" kind of way.
I am saying it in a FREEDOM
kind of way.
Oh to remove yourself from
your life is when you find yourself.
And GOD has a way of wanting you
to remove yourself,
so that HE gets you ALONE with HIM
so that HE can breathe
REAL LIFE into you
SECOND BY SECOND.
Sometimes the journey is not fun,
as some things need to
BREAK,
so that you meet
GOD at a deeper level,
&
so that you meet
HIS SON at a deeper level,
&
so that you meet
THE HOLY SPIRIT
at a deeper level,
who is the ONE who empowers you to
REALLY LIVE
above
whatever BROKEN just happens
to enter into your
SECOND.
BROKENNESS is what brings you back to LIFE.
No one has to wish
BROKENNESS into their LIFE
because
BROKENNESS is part of LIFE,
as it comes from
our doing
or
other's doing.
But then there is the
GOOD BROKEN,
when you are
BROKEN with GOD~
"The sacrifice you desire is a BROKEN spirit.
YOU will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O GOD"
(Psalm 51:17).
Those words from
DAVID
who GOD called a man after HIS own heart.
DAVID
whose FAITH was so BIG that his FAITH killed a giant with little stones.
DAVID
whose FAITH was BROKEN
when he killed the husband of the woman whom he had an affair with..
DAVID
who penned the words
"The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O GOD."
And did GOD turn DAVID away.
Oh no, because DAVID came.
DAVID showed up with his BROKENNESS
and GOD received him
with FORGIVENESS.
It just takes one step to SHOW UP.
JESUS showed up
to be
BROKEN on the CROSS.
Oh the pain. Oh the sorrow.
JESUS KNOWS what it is like to lose your LIFE
in order to SAVE your LIFE.
So on this morning
I thank GOD for reminding me
that
HE loves
BROKEN me,
because it is in my
BROKENNESS
when I release myself
to become my best self
because
IN JESUS
is where
LIFE is found~
"And he who does not take his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow ME [believing in ME, conforming to MY example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in ME] is not worthy of ME.
Whoever finds his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] for MY sake will find it
[that is, life with ME for all eternity]" (Matthew 10:38-39).
Thank YOU JESUS
for taking us
from
BROKEN INTO BEAUTIFUL
because
when YOU were BROKEN
you had
"ME ON YOUR MIND"*
