http://www.gospelines.com "God Uses Broken Things" One Christmas Eve, when my children were younger, I was the last shopper in a toy store at the mall. There were broken parts and pieces of toys scattered on the floor.... dolls with hair missing, battered soldiers and smashed plastic cars. Have you ever wondered what they do with all those broken toys after Christmas? They weren't chosen by anyone because of their imperfect condition. Maybe you feel like that, too. Sometimes we look at our own imperfections and become aware of reasons people might not want to choose us. Like the broken toy, we are afraid that we will end up on the floor to be walked on and kicked aside. We know our faults and blemishes all too well. But God has a message for us this Christmas season. No matter how bad life gets, no matter how many divorces, deaths, disillusionments we face... nothing is going to change the fact that God made us just like we are, and He made us really good! We can never become so damaged that He will disown us, uncreate and unredeem us as His children. Never forget! God knows more about you than you do. You've got to believe it even though it seems impossible. You see some of your weaknesses, God knows your unseen strengths. You are not too young, not too old, not too sick, not too guilty, not too alone, not too broken. Jehovah said to those who were made captive in Babylon, from the lips of Isaiah, "You are precious and honored... I love you... Do not be afraid, for I am with you." (Isa. 43:4-5) GospeLines Prayer: Jehovah, when I am suffering in my own personal Babylon, lost from everyone and everything I hold dear, raise my valleys and lower the high mountains; make the rough ground level, and I will give you the glory forevermore.
