It’s hard to say, “I’m broken,” but it’s the truth. I need to be healed. I was born into a broken world as a broken human being who needs to be fixed. I’ve discovered that proudly trying to justify my feelings, desires, thoughts, and behaviors only keeps me broken and immature. However, humbly letting the living Jesus change my heart and life from day to day (“from glory to glory”) keeps me on the path to the mental, spiritual, and physical healing and wellbeing known as “the kingdom of God.”

The Cross of Christ is the wood that is fixing me. When I take my feelings and desires to the Cross and surrender them to God’s will instead of insisting on my own will, the risen Jesus makes my bitter water sweet. My body being “a temple of the Holy Spirit” is more than theology to me. It’s daily reality. “Christ in you (me)” is indeed “the hope of glory.” Jesus is fixing me bit by bit every day all along the way.

We broken people are often too proud to admit that we need to be fixed. We frequently think and say, “The way I am is the way I’m supposed to be.” Try not to do that.

The living Jesus is the fix for broken people. If you feel like you don’t have a clue, let Him your daily growth hormone.

For a beautiful day in your online neighborhood be neighborly. When you disagree, do it kindly.
