There is a time when we have to realize we are all broken in one way shape or form. I have uttered the words “ fix me Lord, I feel broken” in prayer more times than I can count, but this past week praying those words felt so different. A good different.
GOD FIXES BROKEN PEOPLE.
Over my time at training camp the Word has been poured on so heavy. Almost like I walked in and the WorldRace staff knew exactly what I needed to hear. Which is such a GOD THING! but what struck me so much was the worship.
Being able to stand in a room, unmasked, with people who are pouring their hearts out for Christ seemed so foreign for a bit. Covid has changed things up so much this year that I haven’t consistently been in a place of worship with others. So, being able to experience that here has been so surreal.
Every worship session has brought a flood of emotions, but the thought of brokenness just kept coming back to me. I kept asking myself “How the heck am I suppose minister to others when I’m just as confused?”
Struggling with this question, our second day here, worship was so different for me. I was scared to get into it at first because my mind was racing with the idea that I am “too” broken once again. Then I felt the Lord step in. After worship Steadman, a team leader, came up to me & said “normally I don’t watch when worshipping but today the Lord was telling me to watch and I decided to go along with it. And I got a feeling in my heart that Devin, you have so much more to give.”
Like what a game changer! I so do though! I have so much more give & offer to the kingdom. I just get so scared and afraid of judgement, like any other human. It is just so funny how the Lord works and speaks through other people. How he knew that I was feeling scared to lay it all out there & used the people around me to build me up. Then Steadman said to me, “Welcome to the brokenside” THAT, that is what I needed to hear. A reminder that our brokenness is okay. God welcomes brokenness & He LOVES us just the same. That the Lord will meet us where we are at, and that has been something that I have been holding on to in this time of change.
Thank you!
“A reminder that our brokenness is okay” LOVE THAT! so true. proud of you for stepping out in this & for welcoming a space of feedback and growth. can’t wait to serve with you and grow together 🙂
This is so great Devin!! God not only uses us in our brokenness, he many times uses that brokenness to speak to others and point them to Christ!! It was a great week with you and we can’t wait to see how God uses you in powerful ways!!! What a joy to be your coaches for the next 6 months!!
Nothing, not even brokenness, could ever mess up Gods plans. He has big plans for you dev dev and you are only just beginning ??
It is always amazing when God uses other people to reach us in the moment. Can’t wait to see what the Lord does in and through your life.
We are so excited that you are finding grace in these days and on your journey. Shine your light in the darkness of this world wherever you are and know there is always One with you.
Oh! Thank you both so much! Hoping we get to see you guys in Costa Rica in a few weeks!
