Broken

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." - Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We have all experienced times in our lives when we have been so broken, hurting, and messed up that we could not even think of reaching out to others in the same condition. You may be asking what do we do in times like these? How do we help the broken when we ourselves are broken?

1: We must know that God does not necessarily cause sickness or brokenness, but God allows it. Why? For his glory and our learning to trust in Him all the more.

2: God does not waste the pain. He will always use our brokenness, pain, and the storms of our lives. Why? So that through transparency, we might teach others from our experiences

To do this, we must crucify our personal, immediate gratification in order to make a long-term kingdom investment in others.

This is God's plan for us, and tho we may not always understand and we may not always be able to see his hand at work. We must trust his heart.

May we not allow the trials of this life paralyze us but rather allow them to motivate us to bring kingdom, change, in others, for Gods glory.

Team Wade loves you and his praying for you❤️👊
