All of us are in some way. A little bit and some of us are a bit more. The point is that the Lord calls broken people to work for His Kingdom. None of us are perfect in any real way but by following Jesus we can strive to be more like Him. Will we fall or fail? Yes, but He still picks us up and brushes the dust off, and gives us the ability to go on.
Every person that has been called by Him has a broken story in some way or they wouldn’t have been seeking Jesus in the first place. Does that mean that we are useful to Him? Yes! It does! But…you don’t have to be broken and you won’t stay that way because He fixes broken people and situations. Life itself is part of a broken sinful world and it doesn’t matter if it is your life or mine or even the rest of the world, everything is broken because when sin came into the world it broke the relationship that we were supposed to have with God.
As the apostle Paul wrote, “Creation groans for redemption“. It will continue to be in opposition with God and His statement that everything He created was good until Jesus comes back and restores the world to its rightful dignity. Some don’t believe that this will happen because the Bible is an old book written by men. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the Author of it is the Holy Spirit because He inspired the men to write the words contained in it. He inspires me to write the posts that I write here because I could never write so many pages/posts on the same subject for more than a decade if the words didn’t come from Him.
The world is broken, and we are a part of that broken, sinful world but when He comes back to rule for a thousand years…everything will be put back the way it was intended to be.
