I am broken, and if you are honest, so are you. In what ways are we broken? We are not perfect yet, not what God wants us to be. As one writer said, “We are all still under construction.” Sometimes, I feat that there is so much broken inside of me that it just cannot be fixed. And then God reminds me of where I started and where I am now, and in looking back with thanksgiving, I see that He is still working out His plan for me. God can use that brokenness that I am so frustrated over sometimes to show others that I am not complete in God but that I am trying. It is in my failures that others can see me as God sees me, a work in progress. I think it encourages others to want to know how they, too, can be a project for God to work on and one day bring to completion. The Christians who present themselves as “holier than thou” and “be like me” are not doing God or themselves any favors, nor are they drawing people to a loving God who is patiently working on each of us to make us more like His Son. We have to let others see us as we are, not quite fixed yet but better than we were. I think God can use that to draw others to Him because they will see in us the possibility of change and hope.
