Embracing Brokenness

Wounds that came from failures and adversities in this life have distorted our perception of God. Freedom awaits those willing to take up the mantle of love. We can and must discover the God of Love. The God that walked and talked with us in the Garden. Unadulterated. No sin. No tears. No fear. That same God wants a deeper relationship with us. Built on trust, not deception. Love not fear.

Description

Have you ever asked yourself the question, how did I get here? To this place in my life where things just don’t add up?

If I’m a devoted Christ-follower doing the best I can, why does it feel like something is terribly wrong with me or the world around me? Have you ever had feelings of not measuring up or being good enough? Do you question what you were created for?

Questions like this challenge every one of us. Life wounds us. From an early age every experience, good or bad, impacts how we view ourselves and how we view God.  The lens through which we interpret life gets distorted. The battle began when we bit that darn fruit in the Garden of Eden, deciding we wanted to be like God. Instead we got a view of evil we never expected. How could we? We had no idea what evil was. We weren’t created for it. The devil is slick coning Adam and Eve in to believing knowledge of good AND evil was a good thing. Thanks a lot Mr. Serpent!

Since that fateful day we’ve been doing everything we can to reconnect with God, but not in the way He intended. Let’s face it, we live in a world at war. Facing an enemy that seeks to destroy us. Lies, deceit, distortions of truth. You name it, every rotten thing he can muster is used against us.

The challenge is to embrace the broken places in ourselves. The places where the enemy made headway. The wounded and traumatized places. Things that happened to us through the influence of others or through our own choices. Healing comes only through a posture of intimacy with God. As long-time Christians we’ve heard that relationship with God is the only way. But it’s just not that easy. How do we communicate with God let alone enter His presence? He’s so distant and unavailable. Or at least that’s what we’ve come to believe. But there must be some way to get to God. Perhaps we could gain His favor based on a heightened level of performance or by pleasing Him and meeting His expectations of us.

We take a deep dive into the topic of brokenness and healing. Available to all who collective say “I want to be well”.

Our attempts to meet our own needs apart from God has led to extreme brokenness in our lives. Our lack of intimacy with God makes it impossible to walk in the fruit of the Spirit that is promised to every believer. Barren as this tree, but with the hope that comes from healing in Christ.
