29. "Broken"

Do you feel broken?

Are there some thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that are just so hard for you to change?

Jesus wants us to bring our broken hearts and lay them on His altar in order for Him to bind them up!

He is the way, the truth, and the light. He is the master healer. He can and will work miracles in your life just as he did for the broken back in his day.

In Old Testament times, God's covenant people were required to offer animal sacrifices that were unblemished. These perfect offerings were symbolic of the Perfect Son of God who would come to take away the sins of the world.

We were never expected to cleanse ourselves from sin.

Only an atoning sacrifice from a perfect offering could do that.

Christ came and fulfilled that law of Moses and now requires of us a Broken Heart and Contrite Spirit to be placed on the altar as a sacrifice for our sins.

We only need to humble ourselves and give our shame up to His Grace!

He wants to heal our broken hearts.

We have to submit them to Him and He will heal us!

It is a lifelong process full of mistakes and repairs.

That is how we grow and develop and get stronger.

Through Christ who strengthens us!

It's ok that you're broken. You're supposed to be. It's all part of the plan to make you stronger.

Let Jesus save you.

It's the only way.
