Broken
by Katie Bartolone / Spiritual Formation & IGNITE: Administrative & Ministry Assistant
This week I saw brokenness in so many people. In those moments I was reminded of how much it hurts to be broken. That feeling when it's so hard to bear that you completely bow down at the cross.
So many times we don't want the pain; we can't appreciate the true beauty in it. Only out of brokenness can there be change. God does incredible things. Things that we never thought were imaginable. But, we first have to be broken. When we break into pieces and down to ashes God will rebuild us and make us more and more in His image. He strips away all of the sinful parts of us, all the bad; all the things we are so dearly trying to hold on to out of comfort, and he makes it into a masterpiece that we could have never dreamed of ourselves.
God is so good. We just have to have faith. Have faith that God will rebuild us and transform us. I challenge you this week to give something to God that will break you. Pray specifically and boldly and walk in faith for He is a good, good Father.
