If there is anything that we can all agree on – regardless of our religion, political affiliation, race, or personal beliefs – it’s that humanity is broken.
We are living in a fallen world. Pain, heartache, and sorrow are more common than most of us would care to acknowledge. Many spend their entire lives trying to ignore the brokenness.
Money, power, relationships, sex, alcohol, drugs, success… We all put our stock into something in our attempt to blind ourselves from our own pain and the pain around us.
And yet, weakness, hardship, pain – God sees it all as an opportunity for beauty.
Somehow, our brokenness is meant for more than paralyzing us.
What if our brokenness is meant to heal a broken world?
Your co-worker who just lost their daughter, your neighbor going through a messy divorce, the girl next to you in class who is fighting depression.
Or even the orphan digging through trash cans on the streets of Kenya, the young woman who was abducted and sold into sex slavery, the mother dying of AIDS leaving her son to fend for himself…
