Broken
Let’s face it! Each
and every one of us at one point or another has been hurt. We are a broken
people each in our own way. Someone
might have said something to you that they shouldn’t have. Or someone might not
have said something at just the moment you really needed to hear it, but the
words never came. You might have had a
terrible job, a bad marriage, lost a loved one to illness or have been abused
by the very person you trusted.
“Look at the Cross and you will see Jesus’ head bent down to
kiss you, His arms extended to embrace
you, His heart open to receive you, to enclose you within His love.”-Mother
Teresa of Calcutta
In our walk towards eternity we will have times of darkness.
Jesus is the light that shines into that darkness. So, I extend to you Jesus’ invitation to
enter the darkness, whatever that might be for you. As you walk, stumble and feel your way
through the dark you will find Him waiting there for you in the light. He will shine his light into every nook and
cranny, every dark corner he will find, if you invite him in.
He wants to free each and every one of us into the
light. Let your brokenness go. Only then, with Jesus’ help, can we grow to
be everything He hopes for us. It will
not be easy but will become the most rewarding moments of your life.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
defeated it.”(John 1:5)
Dear Sweet and Gentle Jesus, I’m broken and hurt. I don’t
understand why these things have happened to me. Please soften my heart with
the forgiveness and love you showed from the Cross. Fill me with your light so
I will not carry this brokenness any more.
Help me to forgive and forget, forever. I will not look back. I want to
live in this moment and walk forward towards the light of your incredible love. Amen.
