TOPIC: GOD USES BROKEN PEOPLE FOR BROKEN PEOPLE
BASIC SCRIPTURES: ISAIAH 40: 1; 2 CORINTHIANS 7: 1-7 USES
Welcome to the last quarter of this year! I remember years ago a story ago, my child, Amy, was in high school. She tried to be a cheerleader. She went to practice after practice for the tryouts (A tryout is a test, rehearsal, trial, audition session, practice game, etc). Eventually, her friends were accepted, but she was rejected-and it broke her heart. When she came home, she ran into her room, went into her closet, sat down on the floor, and burst into tears. Everyone in our family could hear Amy crying. And one by one, all on our own, we ended up walking into her room, sitting down on the floor in her closet with her, and crying with her. We didn’t give her any advice; she didn’t need advice. We didn’t say, Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.” It was a big deal! We didn’t say, Don’t cry! That’s an insensitive thing to say to somebody who’s grieving. Instead, we all sat there for about 30 minutes and just cried with her. Our family will never forget that incident. Why? Because, at that point, we were being a raincoat for her. We were being a storm catcher. We were being a protector. Somebody in our family had been hurt, and we weren’t downplaying it. We weren’t trying to talk her out of it. We weren’t trying to cheer her up. We just wept with her.” Great story! Never forget that: “God uses broken people like you and me to rescue broken people like you and me.” Titus was used in today’s 2nd scripture, Vs. 6. A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success! As 2022 ends and as you go out today, be a protection to someone! Be a STORM CATCHER! Be a COMFORTER and you will never lack COMFORT in your life. family and ministry! (Give out ODM COPIES as led).
