Broken, But Not In The Same Place

Some of us are more broken than others. Some of us are broken and unaware that we are broken. We are broken but maybe not in the same place. If you have children then you know some crayons are broken right in half as soon as the crayons leave the box. Just like some of us, we may have been broken as soon as we left the box (the womb). Some of us had to endure being broken as children. Having to hear we will never become..., or feeling unwanted, etc. You get the point. Some of us were broken in the middle stages or late stages in life. Those are the crayons that children just like to break the pointy part off and you see the longest part with the little crayons that you can barely distinguish what it is laying around. But nevertheless we are all broken.

Today, I learned a valuable lesson that no matter where we are broken, we are still broken. We should not judge the broken on their brokenness or on where they are broken. Because my brokenness is not where yours is doesn't make your brokenness anymore insignificant than mine or vice versa. We should talk about God doesn't care where the brokenness is he can heal and use it all. We do not know the place of their brokenness. But my past brokenness may help someone with their present brokenness. Your present brokenness may help me with a brokenness that is yet to come.   Some days I feel like I'm broken everywhere but I know my potter can put me back together again.

What would happen if all the broken came together with no judgement?

I have three girls so I strive to put in them that they are beautiful, that God loves them and that they can do anything with the help of God. Because as broken crayons and we that have children we know the struggles of being broken and we don't want our children to experience what we have been through so we try to produce strong crayons, unbreakable, able to withstand the sharpest tools.

There is beauty in all of our brokenness. Use you brokenness to help others, if you have children there's a start.
