This is part of a sermon I preached. I hope it brings you blessings! When we are broken, we always want a solution and that's okay! However, most of the solutions that we think of or are given to us cause more problems and brokenness. Therefore, one must look at the Remedy of Brokenness from God's angle, which is: 1. There must be a Relationship with God 2. There must be a Reliance on God 3. There must be a Realization that: a. God Cares; b. God is in Control; c. God Can. Although not a BONE of our Lord was broken, when the Lord was crucified and bore our sins in His body, the Bible describes His body as being broken. Our Lord was broken, but through His brokenness, the greatest blessing of them all - SALVATION, was made availabe for you and me.

In the midst of adversity I LAUGH and count it all JOY- I am a person of divine destiny, that is why my finger prints is like no one else's I am still in the palm of gods hands. -No weapons formed against me shall prosper I am anointed, I am well able, I am blessed, I have the favor of god on me, My best days are ahead of me I know good things are in store for me, I am valuable, I am a victor-not a victim. I am forgiven, I will forgive others God always causes me to triumph. I am a child of the most high his royal blood flows through my veins I am the righteousness of god. I am still his most prized possession, the apple of his eyes God is pleased with me....I whip the devil for playing with my mind.....master evil with good Romans 12:19 Never take revenge my friends...let god's anger do it 1Peter 3:9 Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; pay back with a blessing

To make a difference, you often must be different. It takes courage and confidence to go against the grain of negativity that surrounds you, and such courage can bring great rewards. Where others see only doom and gloom, look for the bright glimmer of opportunity. For it is most certainly there. When everyone is looking for someone to blame for what has already happened, turn your focus toward the future. Exploring the current possibilities will create infinitely more value than arguing over past failures. When you encounter rudeness and irritation, generously offer your own polite and confident patience. When you bump up against the arrogance of another person, melt it away with your own sincere, self-assured humility. Just because everyone is heading in a negative direction doesn't mean you must go that way too. On the contrary, it's a valuable opportunity for you to set a positive example. In times of great difficulty and stress, choose to be a beacon of encouragement, understanding and positive purpose. Be different, and you can truly make a valuable positive difference.

To someone who is beautiful ... all over it is absolutely wonderful to have someone in your life who is caring and giving and gracious- someone whose smiles are like sunshine and laughter and whose words always seems to say the things you most like to hear... because those magical people are really beautiful.. inside. and it is a special privilege to know someone whose outward appearance is a delight just to see- someone who light up a room with radiance and who light up my little corner of the world with a loveliness it has never known before... because special people like that are really beautiful... outside... but most of all, it is one of the world's most special blessings to have a person in your life who can add so much pleasure and such magnificence to the days- as you have to mine... because you're someone who is beautiful..... all over...

To my sisters in the Lord... There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close look at herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfair life is, or at who made you do it. She has to just look at herself in all her glory and imperfection. Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life? Or have you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you make this mistake, take a closer look. A woman who has endured the most unusual life is someone of wisdom, someone who has been chosen by God to go through things that have made her stronger. Think of all the great women in the Bible: Mary Magdalene, Ruth and Naomi, the woman with an issue of blood, and Esther, to name a few. Mary was a prostitute, a very uneasy woman. But by the time Jesus was done with her, she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunate in marrying an abusive man, but by the time God was done with her, she had married one of the wealthiest men in the land. Women are so quick to beat the next one down instead of trying to hold her up. Before you wonder, 'What's up with her?' ask yourself, 'What's up with me?' That woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law, stepmother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend, or co-worker, etc. That woman could be ME. Women are the carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build and encourage each other, as did Ruth and Naomi. Pass this to all the women in your life. Encourage and love, forgive and forget, and trust that the woman that receives this will be touched in some way. May the peace and love of Christ be upon you!

Maybe . . We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the Right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know How to be grateful for that gift. Maybe . . . When the door of happiness loses, another opens; but, often Times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new One which has been opened for us. Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, But it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until It arrives. Maybe . . . The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of Everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their Way. Maybe . . . The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten Past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go Of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches. Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want To go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one Chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do. Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent,A spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them From your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more. Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch And swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was The best conversation you've ever had. Maybe . . You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you Feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other Person, too. Maybe . . You should do something nice for someone every single day,Even if it is simply to leave them alone. Maybe . . Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they Will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to Grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in Yours. Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt,All those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they Can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their Lives. Maybe . . . You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go for Wealth; even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to Make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. Maybe . . You should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough Trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough Hope to make you happy Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to the fullest because when You were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but When you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you Crying. Maybe. . . You could copy & send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life, to those who can And do make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see The brighter side of things when you are really down, and to all those Whom you want to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.
