Broken and Blessed

each of us in broken in some form or fashion be it external or internal we all have our share and ration the brokeness that characterizes the particulars in our lives the brokeness that comes in the guise of daily struggle and strife twenty-nine families became broken on that fatal day in that West Virginia mine the sense of safety of New York City was broken when they found a bomb in that Square called Times out-sourcing and down-sizing have broken our economy which is now in disarray the brokeness of Immigration Reform needs to be fixed right away oil spills, tornadoes and flash floods have broken some communities and lives but the brokeness of our souls in the Garden of Eden was healed by Jesus' sacrifice "Take this bread" Jesus said with thanks as He passed it around "Eat this bread", it's a symbol of My body so that My spirit of peace in you will be found "Drink this wine" He said with thanks "It's a symbol of My blood" "Drink this wine in rememberence" that it's you I'll always love we've been bruised and abused, we've been mentally and physically harmed but by the stripes on Jesus we've healed and have made it through life's storms He was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities His sacrifice, His crucifixion so new mercies we would all come to see God's grace will always be sufficient to cover every aspect of our lives God's mercy will always be sufficient as it was for His Son Jesus the Christ we are broken and blessed now ready to give God all the glory we are broken and blessed and that will always be our story
