God Loves Broken Things

Give God your Broken things. He will make them beautiful.

Today I wanted to share a short sweet message, with a song. Today I want to testify that being "broken" is not a bad thing, in fact it means you're are strong and beautiful. God uses broken things to teach us lessons, and to make little things glorious. Us being broken is sort of like God's way to help us become glorious like Him. It is His way of allowing us to come unto Him.
 The lyrics to "Broken" by Kenneth Cope are as follows:

"Broken clouds give rain
Broken soil grows grain
Broken bread feeds man for one more day
Broken storms yield light
The break of day heals night
Broken pride turns blindness into sight

Broken souls that need His mending
Broken hearts for offering
Could it be that God loves broken things?

Broken chains set free
Broken swords bring peace
Broken walls make friends of you and me
To break the ranks of sin
To break the news of Him
To put on Christ till His name feels broken in

Broken souls that need His mending
Broken hearts for offering
I believe that God loves broken things

And yet our broken faith, our broken promises
Sent love to the cross
And still, that broken flesh, that broken heart of His
Offers us such grace and mercy
Covers us with love undeserving

This broken soul that cries for mending
This broken heart for offering
I'm convinced that God loves broken me

Praise His name, my God loves broken things."

I just want to testify that God does in fact love "broken" things. I know that if we can come to realize that we are broken without Him, He will mend our hearts so we are no longer broken. I know that we all suffer from breaks. I know that no matter what the break is, no matter how big or small: our Savior can mend our broken, and through our broken moments we can learn and become more like Christ. There is nothing wrong with being broken. There are two talks I want to share. Both from Jeffery R. Holland (Quorum of the 12 Apostles). The first: "Like a Broken Vessel" and the second: "Broken things to mend. You can either read or listen to these talks.* Being broken can bring to pass beautiful, wonderful things. Heavenly Father still loves you with all His heart. Don't give up. I know that these words are true.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Love,
Samantha
