"Brokenness"

Writer's picture: Reginald ReavesReginald Reaves

The trials of life have a way of breaking our heart, crushing our dreams, even shattering our perspective of life. For example, many that are divorced or have been in a bad relationship, find it increasingly difficult to open their heart to anyone for fear of getting hurt. They may manage to enter a relationship, but they do it with hesitancy and reservation, being haunted by the ghosts of relationships from the past; and as a result, they view any potential relationship through the dark lens of despair, forfeiting the possibilities of a happy present and future.


We all have hurts, regrets, disappointments, and a host of things that have impacted us in negative ways; but the question is "how do we go forward?" Do we simply allow these things and experiences to leave us damaged with scrambled emotions? Do we become bitter, daring people to cross us? or should we turn to the One that is a healer of the scars of the soul?


The twists and turns that your life has taken didn't take the Lord by surprise. God has always had a master plan for your life; He's just waiting on you to stop trying to negotiate your way through life on your own. Even after you have gone through what seems to be the worst that life has to offer, God's love for you is greater than anything you've had to endure.


The broken pieces of your life are not the end of your story. Your life doesn't have to remain in fragments; let God begin the process of restoration, and make you whole. He wants to write a new chapter in your life and heal all of your broken places. "If any man be in Christ he is a new creation: old things are passed away; and behold all things are become new" 2 Corinthians 5:17.


Give to God your mess; give Him your loneliness, give Him your tears and fears. Give Him the pain from your past. All of your questions and confusion; everything that has reduced you to broken pieces. Let the Lord gather you up into His loving arms, and out of your brokenness, He'll bring forth a new, beautiful you. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." Psalm 51:17


From the heart and hand of Pastor Reginald Reaves
