Where in your life are you experiencing brokenness and how can you give it to God so he can transform it with his love?
//Dynamic Catholic//
What do we do with broken people, broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families, and of course, our very own broken selves—things too important to just throw away?
Today, Matthew explores how a more beautiful question holds the answer.
Our all-loving God does not desire that we seek suffering to become holy, but he does desire that we surrender to him in our suffering so that in our brokenness, his mercy can make us whole again. In being broken open by suffering, we are offered the opportunity to let those open spaces be filled with the mercy and compassion of our God, and in the depth of that mercy to be moved to love him more deeply. Surrendering to suffering is the path we walk backwards through the pain of the fall toward the life of Eden.
