This Is Going To Be A Great Week-God Can Heal The Broken

Only God is able to help you overcome your brokenness and be made whole. There is hope for healing in Jesus and He can help you deal with the things that have shattered your life. But you have to accept His help and also do your part as well. You must:
Cause you change
worthless into precious
guilty to forgiven
hungry into satisfied
empty into full
and all the lies are shattered and we believe we matter
when you change broken into beautiful

-Acknowledge the fractures in your life. Recognize signs of brokenness - swelling, sadness, numbness, aches. Denial delays fulfillment, in this case, healing.

-Embrace your personal value.
Believe that you are worthy of the time, effort and investments to become whole. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts; your body with nutritious food; and your spirit with love.

 
 -Exercise discipline.
Sometimes to complete their recovery, patients may enter a rehabilitation program. Participants must be willing to do the hard work facing them. Whether a fractured hip, incarceration, substance abuse, or a suicide attempt, "coming back" requires a mixing of intention and sweat.

-Prepare for the healing.
Reach out for the support. Spiritual sit-ups will strengthen the core muscles of faith in your Higher Power. You can do this!

-Let go of the resentment, guilt and anger.
The Gospels offer counsel on the difficult task of forgiving those who have caused us harm. Begin with self-forgiveness. The released energy will become available for channeling into your healing.

-Dare to venture outside your comfort zone.
This may mean disregarding stigma, making life-style changes, developing new friendships, and forming new habits. This is not easy stuff. To paraphrase the words of a world leader who came from a "broken" home, there is audacity in hope.

-Express appreciation.
If you envision wholeness, then imagine the experience of wholeness, believe in the possibility of wholeness, thank God for the coming transformation, and start the healing process.

Celebrate in Jesus Name because He can make broken into beautiful.
