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!
