Along the way I’ve discovered that we all bear the scars of this world’s brokenness—scars that only God can heal.
Recognizing this pain and suffering in the world around me has opened my eyes, allowing me to see the hurt in others as the source of their anger and hate, giving me the opportunity to acknowledge that my own damage often clouds my judgment. In... my moments of deepest pain I’ve experienced profound truths and found common ground that creates opportunities to build connections from shared experiences of pain.
We have all experienced brokenness: Broken dreams, broken homes, broken relationships, broken love—broken lives. This brokenness is one of the things that make us human; it is one of the things that link us together, giving us the ability to empathize. Unfortunately, it’s also an excuse I’ve used for lashing out in anger, hurting those around me.
But God has shown me a better way, a way to reach out with His healing hands instead of with my fists of furry.
So join me as I determine to allow God to heal the brokenness in my life, letting Him use these opportunities to create something beautiful from the painful experiences in my life. Join me as I reach out with hands of healing rather than fists of furry.
Final Thought: Brokenness can be the chains that imprison us or the bond that holds us together—the choice is yours.
