Brokenness

I met a man this week who has been broken. He has experienced more horrors in the past few years than most experience in a lifetime. He knows the feeling of torture - both mental and physical. He knows the pain of being ripped away from his family and friends. He has experienced daily, relentless despair. He has been broken by a cruel, merciless world.

To be broken by the world is pain and death. It brings despair and agony.

But

To be broken by grace is life and joy! It brings healing and reconciliation.

God, heal his brokenness from the world by breaking him with Your grace.
