There are things that I haven't laid out on the table;

There are things that are so broken, I don't know how to properly communicate.

Shame is a bully but Grace is a shield; The church needs to be a safe place for the suffering and broken to come and experience what the cross is all about.  Jesus takes all of the shame and suffering and brokenness and exchanges it for deep Grace and all of his righteousness.  Jesus came for those of us who are forsaken and broken. #TheBrokenWay

John 12:24

Society tells us to avoid suffering.  God also allows suffering;  Suffering that will refine you, Suffering that will shape, Suffering that will open you up to be empty and be more like Jesus.  If you die to self, be broken and given out that yielded place, your life will yield the most.  When I am at the weakest, Christ is the strongest in me. #TheBrokenWay
