Army of the Broken

Jarrid Wilson February 3, 2012 2 Comments

Within the last few days, a theme of “Brokenness” has taken point over my times of study and devotion. Not that I myself felt broken, down or depressed, but that I wanted to see what scripture said to those dealing with these issues.

At one point we have all have felt:

1) Broken

2) Useless

3) Abused

4) Hurt

5) Worn out

6) Depressed

7) Guilty

8) Weak

9) Addicted

10) Dirty

 

And if you have NEVER felt one of these, i’d love to hear your God-given secret to perfection.

The reality is that all of us are broken, but don’t confuse brokenness with uselessness. Just because you are broken does not mean God can’t use you. In fact, 99% of the people Jesus used for His ministry were broken, addicted, weak, and dirty. Dig into the depths of scripture and see for yourself.

Don’t let Satan confuse your brokenness for uselessness.

Through the power of Jesus Christ:

1) You are useable.

2) You are beautiful.

3) You are able.

4) You are capable.

God uses broken people to bring HOPE to a broken world.

Romans 8:11The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

We are the army of the broken, finding restoration and power through the hope of Jesus Christ.

    Amen and Amen! Brokenness is not equal to uselessness. I loved that. Love from Kenya!

    I love this. There is a gigantic difference between being broken and being useless. Brokenness allows God to fill in the cracks and make us whole. Useless should only be used to describe broken things, not people. Not ever.
