The Wolrd Needs to See Us Broekn

The world needs to see us broken, gone are the days when I sold "perfect Christianity." Christianity that sells the world we are perfect or there is some way to be perfect. Because we are not and because I am not. We do not need to present a much more perfect way, a divine walk a prosperous lifestyle. We need to show them we are loved and we can lead them home. I think at base level we need to comfort, we need to forgive we need to let the world know we are forgiven. We need to let them know they are loved.



We are broken vessels, we are repaired and used by the Master's hand. We are broken and whole all at the same time. We are divorced, if not from our spouses from Jesus... before we get saved. After getting saved we are still broken, we are addicts, we are defunk, we are filled with Grace, Truth and Life. We are a contradiction.



We struggle and we need to show them that. We to need to acknowledge that we get it wrong, daily. We need to be open to see people as they really are, where they are at and meet them there. We need to realize and be willing to admit we need Jesus before the world will ever admit they need Jesus.




We live for Him, we get it wrong, He still loves us and that is the matter. We could not love Him otherwise. We need to show them we love a God who loves us. We love the good Samaritan... We love Jesus. We need to not stand in judgement and say we are better or even different. The difference is Jesus not us. CONSOLATION... Not PERFECTION - not in the sense of being sinless - Perfection in the sense of being made complete with the Father through Jesus Christ His Son.



We need to tell the world that. We need to show the world we are human. We need to show the world we struggle. Sin does not have dominion over us, how...

Grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. Mostly it is the blood of Jesus and His life in us the hope of glory!
