Never Too Broken

May I share something with you? Something powerful. Something transforming.

You are NEVER too broken to be made whole. You are invited to join in a partnership with God in healing, and He’s bigger.


Sure, you’ve tried to do this on your own, but as you partner with Him, a shift in the way you view yourself begins to take place, as you.

-Exchange the burden of what people have done or said, with confidence of the changes and growth taking place on the inside of you


-Strip ordinary people of their power as you realize that people, whether through evil, or selfishness or simply their own brokenness, can shape you, but it doesn’t define you


Write these scriptures on the mirror in lipstick. Or put a sticky note on your steering wheel. Say them daily until they soak into your heart.


-No person is greater than your God! (1 John 4:4)


-Your heavenly Father loves you unconditionally, right where you are (1 John 3:1)


-Nothing can ever separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39)


-Regardless of another person’s brokenness or sin, you are marked with destiny (Isaiah 49:16; 1 Corinthians 2:9)


As we release the people factor to hold close the Jesus factor, something powerful takes place. We no longer look to mere humans to make us feel valued or worthwhile. We stop waiting for another person to be fixed before we run after all that God holds out for us. We begin to see ourselves the way God does.

And one day, my prayer is that you’ll look back and be in awe of all that God has done inside of you and then come alongside others and help them find healing, too.
