We don't have to look very far to see that we live in a broken world.
Devastating storms, poverty, cancer, hunger, war, and death are all around us. Our hearts ache with loss, cry out in the face of injustice, and sometimes simply long for something better.
If we are honest, we'll see that not only do we live in a broken world, we are a broken people, too.
We have broken hopes and dreams.
We carry around fears and failings. Sometimes we hide them. Sometimes we are crippled by them.
We have broken relationships with each other and with God.
We need healing. We need someone to enter into our brokenness, pick up the pieces, and make us whole again.
Grace shouts, "Yes! Take heart! There is Someone who can do that!"
The Lord "...heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3)
. . .
We'll look at this more tomorrow.
Today, may you take time to soak up the healing love God offers you.
