Broken beautiful

So I’m sitting here, with nothing to do, and I’m thinking

“Hmm..I haven’t blogged in a while. But I really don’t have any ideas.”

So I plug in my headphones and click “Shuffle.”

The song “Brokenness Aside” comes up. So I’m gonna talk about that.

This songs talks about how God’s grace for us never runs out, even when we do things that let Him down. 

How He still calls us Child when we aren’t honest with Him. 

How we as humans are prone to running and crying. We try to fix things on our own, instead of looking to help. 

We are all sinners, regardless. We are caught up in devastation, some of which we bring upon ourselves. 

But He is God, and He can take all of our broken pieces and turn them into beauty. 

Then I was thinking, “Hmmm…what other songs are like this?”

Ellie Holcomb’s Broken Beautiful: We sometimes wonder if God will still be there to hold the broken pieces of our hearts together when we set them down in front of Him. 

But we must remember that He is love, He is healing, He can take our shame, and He can make our broken pieces beautiful. 

Casting Crown’s Broken Together: Things don’t always turn out the way we planned. Instead of drawing battles lines between us and another broken person, we must realize that we weren’t made to do anything alone. We, as broken individuals, are supposed to bring our brokenness to each other. Healing can be spoken and save us if we remain broken together. 

Hillsong’s Broken Vessels: We are broken, and all of our pieces and spread everywhere, but then His mercy comes along and mends them all back together, even though we don’t deserve His mercy. We are weak, we are failures, but His grace is abounding, and it saves us constantly. Through His grace, we are found. His love is everywhere. When He died for us, He was raising our brokenness to life. 

Sweetly Broken: We are beautifully broken, and wholly surrendered. 

Beautiful Things: He takes even dust and makes it beautiful. He takes us and makes us beautiful. 

So in the midst of our brokenness, He is in the process of making it beautiful.
