His Brokenness Holds Me Together

I came into my prayer time today—after having not set aside proper time over the last few days—feeling scattered. Do you ever feel that way? Maybe you missed some devoted time with the Lord and feel all over the place. Maybe even a mess. It's amazing how time with Him makes all the difference, am I right?!

I started a worship song called "Love Changes Everything" [@redrocksworship] and before their words even started mine began to flow. Immediately I expressed how I missed my sweet time with Him and how I feel like a mess without His constant companionship. How I felt like everything could fall apart without Him. And then the words began in the song—about how Jesus was broken beautifully for us.

As I confessed my brokenness I was reminded of His. The sacrifice Jesus made for us was the victory that makes us alive. His brokenness holds me together. And don't we feel that everyday? I know I do! I know that one day without holding Him close is a chasing after the wind. I feel lost, tired, and useless—I feel myself fade into the chaos of the world around me. But then all of that changes within the first few precious moments with Him. I know I'm not deserving of His brokenness or qualified to carry that message, however, I know He loves me and that there is nothing else I can do but carry that message.

If you're feeling like a hot mess today, or just feeling a bit frazzled, take a few intimate moments with Him now and allow His brokenness to come in and hold you together. My perspective is different and day less chaotic after reconnecting with my Savior.
