Before Christ, I was just broken.
In many ways, I’m still broken.
But now, I’m broken this way with purpose.
Jesus uses my brokenness to heal others of the same brokenness as He heals me.
Hallelujah!
Jesus healed a man born blind so that others could see.
“And His disciples asked Him, saying, ’Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’
Jesus answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.’”
— John 9:2-3
The key is not hiding my brokenness.
“Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, ’Are we blind also?’
Jesus said to them, ‘If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, “We see.” Therefore your sin remains.’”
— John 9:40-41
But we must confess our sins to one another before God that we may be healed.
“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
— James 5:16
Lord, if you show me, Imma tell it. Like the woman at the well, I will run and tell of the One who told me everything that I ever did, so they, too, can drink of this living water that You gave me and be healed.
Everything I am, Lord, including my brokenness, is for Your use.
I love You.
Amen.
