So this Sabbath I was sitting at church- as the pastor began to speak - I realized that I had heard what he was saying before. In fact, last week - he had shared a little devotional with the youth group for vespers and this sermon was that message ...expanded. At first I was thinking, "oh no...not this again." But as I continued to listen and heard his entire message I realized a very important lesson. There were some people sitting in the pews that had not been to church in a while- and I realized that this message of God's unfailing love- this love that comes with a guarantee with it- was exactly what these people needed to hear. And as I realized that I was happy that they were hearing such a great message. A message that said that even when we mess up over and over- God is still there - waiting for us to come to Him and to forgive us. As I came to this realization - it blessed me. When I realized that I did not need to be just concerned about my own blessing but the blessing of those around me. Then I was really blessed. Really blessed by the reassurance that God is able to fix broken things- it does not matter how many times we take our brokenness to God - He is willing and able to fix us!
