break breaking broken

Have you ever wondered why God allows brokenness to happen in our lives?

I have, many times. 

Elijah Waters sorta answered the question for me. 

God allows brokenness to happen our lives because when you break something, you get to the inside of it. More often than not, the best parts are on the inside. (Like bread-- the best parts are on the inside) God wants to get to the inside of your heart. He wants to rid you of yourself; let you see that you cannot on your own. Truly, it hurts because we always realize through brokenness--- that we are honestly not all that strong. 

The best part's that-- well here's what Jesus does with bread;

"He takes it, blesses it, breaks it and gives it."

He takes you, blesses you, breaks you and gives you.
I love that He blesses before breaking-- He's anointed you for every season of your life!
It's not like you're on your own, you cannot be! Because He's promised.
"I'll never leave you, nor forsake you."

Many times we think brokenness is forever, but no, Jesus has rose from the death of brokenness. 

Get this. There's an expiration date for trials.

So you've been hurt? And broken? Trampled upon? 

Maybe life seems pretty bleak by now... Well, not in the hands of Jesus; you won't. 

Not in the hands that have been pierced through and through so that today yours can be restored. 

Not in the hands who bled, whose heart was crushed, to redeem yours. 

So He takes the broken bread and He gives them.

To the hungry people He gives them, to the tired people He gives. 

He does not send them away, he doesnt. 

He takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it.

You could be part of the hungry multitude today, we are all once part of that crowd; helpless and hopeless, alone and hungry---- in need of the Bread of life and the living Water.

Well, Jesus came for you, He'll never send you away when you come knocking. 

He wants to feed you hungry one. 

Or you could be part of the broken bread today-- the first thing hungry people touch; 

the first form of His grace people see. 

Now even brokenness is a hope.
