Broken
Pain. Sorrow. Sin. All leave us broken. Need presents itself on every front. We need healing. We need comfort. We need meaning. We need hope.
Our faith can suffer heavy losses if we turn to the wrong sources for help.
Restored
In our broken state, we tend to focus on one thing…normalcy. We long to put our lives, our circumstances, our faith, back to the way things were. Restore the good. Repair the fragments.
In a sense, this is healing. We are whole again.
There are many sources for this type of healing. Medical treatment. Professional counseling. Lifestyle changes. Faith practices. Supportive relationships.
These are tremendous helps to your faith and healing. And yet, your God offers more.
He calls you to be made new.
Made New
Jesus doesn’t want our lives to go back to the way they were.
He wants infinitely more.
Beyond healing, Jesus promises to transform us into His image. Deep faith trusts God to place us on His Potter’s wheel and completely remake us. To grasp all of who we are in His infinite hands and shape our everything. Our identity, our purpose, our nature…everything becomes for Him and for His glory.
This requires our old self to completely give way. We are not empowering ourselves. We are surrendering ourselves to the One who loves us. Who died for us. Who gives us His kingdom in exchange for our humble offering of brokenness.
What a mystery!
Invite Jesus to show you how to surrender to this process. Go Deeper with Him through His transforming work in your life. All of you…shaped by all His love, mercy, grace, power, and wisdom.
This is Deeper Faith.
