Due to sin's destructive nature from the onset of life on earth, men and women have been swallowed up with struggle; enormous struggle. Even should a person not believe in the spirit nature of good and evil...even these are ravaged by some persistent trend of both disappointment and ruin.
How broken are we?
We are consumed with life's entrapment as we seek the hidden pathway of escape. No one is immune to the dis-ease of keeping life's plates a-spinning. Mankind is a mess. To display how great this upset is, we are so extremely warped that we can see the many flaws in all others while thick blindness seems to obstruct us from noticing our own severe sin.
Mankind is broken. We have been sabotaged, beaten, and broken by dark forces who take little blame nor responsibility.
Of course, this leads us to the One who broke these bonds that wish to barricade us from refreshment and energy. Jesus died on the cross to pay a debt we could not pay. Thick blindness, however, causes the masses to even ignore such a grand love.
I would urge many to be encouraged with life. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the LIFE. It's weird. It's odd. It's immeasurable as well as unexplainable. But it's ours for he traded us places. He died that we could live.
May we use our brokenness as fuel to help us endure struggles and claim the purpose of reaching to others up and down life's corridors who feel helplessly broken...just as we once did.
