Broken Girls

There are without a doubt a lot of broken girls in this world, who  have been broken by life's circumstances, and are unable to rebuild themselves or pick up the pieces of them that have been lost along the way. When you are a broken girl, some things matter more than others, but it's clear that you matter the least of all. It's too easy for you to think that you can float through life, and never really have to face any of the things that broke you in the first place. However, the problem with remaining a broken girl is the fact that broken girls go on to become broken women. Now I'm not saying that a broken woman can't be a phenomenal being, because I'm not all the way fixed myself (and I consider myself phenomenal ;)) but, can a broken woman really accurately teach her daughters that no matter what the circumstances are, she should demand respect from every relationship she encounters. Sure, you can tell her until you're blue in the face, but she's going to watch you're actions. She's going to watch how you allow yourself to be treated, and it doesn't matter what comes out of your mouth, she'll fall into that pattern. Can a broken woman who knows nothing about the role of a man, teach her son how to face his challenges while remaining Godly and upstanding?

Picking up the pieces that have been lost along the way isn't always easy, because sometimes a broken woman isn't even sure what was lost in the first place, but God is such a good God because he will not only SHOW you what you're missing, but he will also SHOW you how to find it! Sometimes broken girls think that they are too broken, too sinful, too unworthy to be used by God, but don't you know that God loves to use broken people to do His work? Don't you know that when God uses broken people to do His work the credit for such healing and overcoming goes to Him! What better way to testify to people than to use someone with serious character flaws to show the world His amazing power, and ability to heal even the worst situations. How else to prove his magnificence to the world than to turn you're brokenness around to help teach His word?

When you are broken, sometimes the end seems so far away, but God grants the gift of endurance for anyone who asks for it. Endurance is like patience on steroids :) When you find yourself in a situation that just won't go away, pray to God for endurance for his plan is perfect. Pray for endurance because his will shall be done in your life.

"He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)
