Seeing Past the Brokenness - July 17
We are all broken people, living in a broken world. It’s that simple. Unfortunately, no one is exempt from the effects of sin. The good news for all of us is that Jesus steps into the midst of our brokenness, is near to us and makes us whole in his love. What’s even more amazing is God wants to use you to see past the broken exterior to the hearts of the people in your life. Brokenness can often make us hard, bitter and difficult to deal with. But we’ve been given the call to see past that hard exterior and love people in the midst of their pain.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 34:18, and today's worship is Extravagant by Bethel Music featuring Steffany Gretzinger & Amanda Cook.
