Are you tired of being broken?

Broken Toys
As children bring their broken toys,
With tears, for us to mend;
I brought my broken dreams to God
because he was my friend.

But then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
"How could you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
You never did let go...."

Sometime we are NOT like the child in the story; we do not acknowledge our brokenness. Not to anyone else and not even to ourselves. We carry it around with us; like a doll with a missing arm; we feel the pain but won't admit that we need some fixing. 

And then once we do admit our brokenness to ourselves, the areas in our lives that have endured abuse, suffered wounds and even been stunted in growth and healing, we tend to try to hide it from others. We don't "let go" of our pain to trust someone else to help us through the healing process. It is painful. We have problems  trusting others because so many have proven untrustworthy in our lives and we don't want to "let anyone in" to see the mess that we live with daily. 

Sometimes, we may trust and believe that God or a doctor or family member are able and willing to help us; but then again, do we trust and "let go" of the pain so that we can be healed and made whole again. We do not have to live lives of brokenness.  We can "find ourselves, heal from abuse and learn to dream again"...and this healing journey begins by ADMITTING THAT WE ARE WORTH IT...and that any brokenness that we will acknowledge CAN be healed.

Try it...admit your pain and you will find your brokenness. You are not "less of " a person but will become a whole hearted and healed person as soon as you make ONE STEP on this healing journey. 

YOU can do it. YOU are worth it!!!
