Blessed to Be Broken

It's early on a Thursday morning, so this will be short, but there's something I need to share. In the past days, God has been revealing Himself to me in amazing ways. It's been coming for a long time, and now I'm starting to see tiny pieces of His plan come together in powerful and mighty ways. So here are two truths you have to know.
1) We are blessed to be broken. Yes, broken and blessed. God uses broken, messed up people to accomplish His will, and it is in our brokenness that we reach out to the God of the universe, finding that our strength is not in ourselves but in the God who lives in us. He lives inside each one of us, and when our strength is gone, His is perfect. PERFECT! I don't have to be perfect; I just have to need God, honor God, seek God. He is PERFECT! What a blessing!
2) God's promises are real. They are true. They don't change. They are enough. What promises? He loves us! He has a plan for our lives. He will carry us through the fire. He will reveal Himself to us when we spend time seeking Him. The promises go on and on. My favorite one right now is that He has given me the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all power of the evil one! What a powerful promise! And another? I am NOT to cast away my confidence in God and His Word for in that confidence is great reward!

Okay . . . this is not great writing but it sure is truth. Call out to God today. Don't wait another minute. Spend time with Him and let Him put His desires in your heart so that what you want is what He wants for you. If you are thinking, "I just don't know where to start," then just call out His name. It will be enough because He is there waiting for you. He is a tenacious God, and He never gives up on us, so let Him love you today. I sure intend to do the same, and precious friends, you will be in my prayers as I hit my knees this morning. Bask in God's love and let Him enjoy you as His precious child!

Be broken, be humble, and be tenacious!
