“God’s Toolbox”
When something needs repairing beyond your ability, you most likely will call someone who knows how to fix the problem. Depending on the repair, the service person will inquire about the need so he can bring the proper tools.
Our lives are a lot like furniture, a house, car, appliances, and most other things. There are times we are broken and in need of repair, or at the very least, a tune up. Brokenness can be caused by many different things. Poor decisions, hanging with people we thought were friends, but their influence led us to dark places, and now we can’t find our way out. A person can be broken not only in body, but spirit, mind, emotions, and will.
Of course, relationships can be broken by betrayal, lies, an interest in another person, or thing. Broken hearts abound today. Some people are lonely and afraid as they or a loved one suffer from a severe illness and facing eternity which may come sooner than expected.
We all at some point in life feel the pain caused by a variety of things and wish there was someone who could help. Someone who will understand and talk to us. Someone to love us, heal our pain and sorrow. Someone that will offer a hand to lift us up rather than push us aside. My friend, there is someone who can do all those things. His name is Jesus.
A good mechanic will figure out a car problem. Someone has the ability to replace a broken window. There are gifted people who can “fix broken things,” and we are thankful for them. They can figure out the problem, decide on the right tools, and make your day with a successful repair.
But there is only One who can save, repair, and restore a broken life. God has never given up on you, nor will he. Whatever you need, He has the knowledge, and ability to “fix” whatever is broken. His toolbox is filled with love, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, patience, kindness, wisdom, and certainly the desire to help you. He is calling your name. Only He can save and restore your life. Call on Him today.
