Last night I left home kind of a wreck. It took me over an hour and a half to actually get out of the house just because I was so dreading coming back to Columbia.
Even though its only 24 (WAHOO!) more days....these next 24 days are going to be full of SOOOO much stuff! So much to do and so little time!
And last night I was feeling really stressed about it. Since it was a Sunday night a mix of Mo-Tab and EFY music accompanied me home.
One song hit me more than usual. I've heard this song a MILLION times...but for some reason this time...I thought about it.
There is one line in this song that made me think the most.
"Could it be that God loves broken things"
I think that when I first heard this I kind of assumed you meant that He likes broken things more than fixed things. And that He is happy when we are broken.
But lets be honest and think about this a little. Neither of these ideas make even a remote bit of sense!
That is not how God is. He is a loving Heavenly Father, who wants us to be whole and put together.
So here I go....putting ideas and thoughts into your head. (haha)
I think what you mean is He loves broken things DESPITE the fact that they are broken.
And that is an idea I am a big fan of.
Cause lately I feel like just when I get put back together I break in a different way.
So thank goodness for this love. Cause I am all sorts of broken all the time!
We are all broken and fall short of the mark that is the glory of the Atonement and Grace of Christ. He loves us so much that when we are broken we can be made whole through Him. Being broken is the price we pay to learn in this life.
