Broken but restored (Broken but restored)

Go to new famous restarts after Easter for the next 3 or 4 weeks broken battery stores.

Interesting. Some of the songs we sang this morning, I didn't lie in this office, almond, Jonathan and Judy at a low CMC, we hadn't talked about the details of everything that we're going to talk about the ladies kind of segued into that from yesterday. But, you know, I've had, if I'm honest with you and I want to be honest with you, I've had a dreadful week and last week was a four-day week and suddenly, it seemed like I was about seven days of what I needed to be done. So I don't know how we're going to get through tonight and I'm just being honest with each other. For me, that we do not stay. It's not a place that we remaining, you probably know people, maybe you feeding that, maybe it's happen for you, maybe you'll dad right now. We're at she goes. Stalking Brokenness. I knew you might recognize. This is a bit of a habit where we gather around. We had the same story being played again and again and again. Replace scratched in The Gulch.

I got, that's what I'm going to be talking about this morning. We have to move on. So sometimes we'd like to stay there. Sometimes we'd like to play that.

But you heard of things like a shopaholics, but people who go shopping to make themselves feel better. Then it becomes a bit of a cycle where you have enough money. So you go out shopping. So that's the place we get. Stuck is we don't deal with it. Repress it down. This is where I want to share from the tonight. I didn't want to press it. I didn't just want to try to hide it. I want to be a little bit roll with you cuz I want to talk about some of the things.

I want to share a picture. I want to share broken yet restored a broken, but restored, many times. If we stay in broken, we make all cells ill. If you just Keep On, Keepin it. Keep it in my kitchen. It might turn. You put a pot on the stove. You fill it with water, you put on it on it, and it's just like the week that I feel like that now. And then we try and keep the little

I'm sorry, I'm coming from a place inside. Okay, if that was broken this sorted out and then we can celebrate what happens when you get injured? If you cut yourself, the number of small cuts on you, let it run. I need to go to spin table and I was holding on to this cable and my dog. So another dog, and it ran, and this cable just went straight through my hands. But the point is, it hurts at the time. but the point is, it's healed now So scars open wounds, but I won't do that again.

I'm so I want to talk about broken interested in him, we have Redemption through his blood, the Forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound to us, in all wisdom and Prudence, having made known to us, the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself.

Place where he can draw receipt.

One of the things that goes on in Brokenness is we don't like being sometimes stuff comes out you and I was I was thinking about this morning, I Tuesday this week I I ended up having 13 meetings. You my daughter I started at 6:00 in the morning and I was still doing meetings at 7 at night.

And I got to the middle of the day and I needed to do some stuff and I couldn't even see a spice without the dog. And let alone do things.

You know what? Just about 11 in the morning? I thought I need a break. I need some space. I need to breathe.

My pride just a little prayer. I thought was making a coffee. I prayed that look in your help me right now. I need something right now and I don't know if we just looking at teams three things I'm going to have to cancel my meeting this afternoon. Because he's got to move. So can we do it tomorrow? And I wasn't convenient to move it to tomorrow, but I lost office Vice So why would I why would I do something that I was looking for that, I need you to write. I just use some of the content and that's what I talked about, in the cool lights. Running the day, we've got an hour, and then I just need 15 minutes. We have the time. It takes to make you comfy. Go back and sit in back of the computer as the next team scores. Pretty pretty, interesting. My hands up in the air. I went into the meeting. Just a couple of minutes early and I one of my colleagues

As everybody, you know, if you if you've been on the team's making people join but she's a Christina. She was just talking about this. I'm sorry. I'm just so excited. I'm so excited and so grateful that God is amazing. He's incredible.

It says, you don't want to come start from some images of a bruised Reed. He will not break and at them early voting Wick, he will not quench, he will bring forth Justice introduced.

When I'm weak, he makes me strong. The first thing we need to do with that statement of Truth is to acknowledge, were in a place of weakness on my key. How are you? How are you doing? Oh, I'm doing fine. Thanks remember how many many years ago when we first got married, but you schedule an Anglican Church over and cook them, why you should have peace and pay some people going around hugging. Some people shaking hands and went up to the show. This lady came and she we shook hands and She mumbled peace of the Lord be with you. So she looked up with me and I and we shook hands and the peace with her and she just burst into tears.

I'll wait, we got to talkin to pry but she was just going through the motions, but I'm sure what, being real together talking about like, talkin about stop praying about things around. Know, how does that help us? We need to have a vertical Dimension to our conversation. You might talk to me about and you might go, I don't remember. Somebody chips, many years ago.

I'm just human like the rest of us actually when we struggled. But if you don't have a relationship is about not worrying about that, but don't worry about me. Take it to take it to the, to the solution, take it to the I'm sorry, if I if it's true that a problem shared is a problem. But, I used to be a math teacher Judy about it. Now, she's going to call Jody ice creams broken. But do you see what goes on here? We never ever lose any bits of the problem. They just get moved around the economy of life and actually, as soon as we start taking it vertical, soon as we stop praying and asking God suddenly, that which was my problem, I'm not given to him. I'm so it's right to acknowledge. But we can be weak and we need help. And then we can stop to get some strength because I breathe, bruised Reed. He will not break. Don't go bring his strength to strengthen us couple bring his Vitality to help us. Sometimes the greatest thing that can calm me some of your schedule inside and just hold on, I will stand there and be with us. I reached out to someone at someone I play with from time to time this week in 30 minutes.

Let's not let's not develop the economy of a problem. Shared is a problem halved, unless we going to take it.

In Matthew 12, verses 17 through 21 these scriptures. Also spoke to me this week and this is the message version. Look well, at my hand pics of it, I love him so much, take such Delight in him. I've placed my spirit on him, he'll decree Justice to the nation's but I won't yell one. Tracy's voice will be no commotion in the streets. He would walk over anyone's feelings. Won't push you into a corner before, you know it he's Justice will trial. Adam is sound of his name will signal hope even amongst Faro, unbelievers About the Name of Jesus. The name of the name above all names. If there's one name you need on your door, you need is one name. You need on your screensaver on your computer. Jesus. And I'd recommend, if you are someone who has screensavers on YouTube, either have something popping up from time to time the ink cartridges. You

There's lots of apps out there to dry. Those kind of things in cars, those kind of things. Let's get off the challenge. Unhappy with Psalms talks about, I will lift mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help.

One of the things about getting eyes on. The problem is we become very short. So I can see the bigger picture. We don't say that, God could be involved. And what was I'm out? Here becomes a mountain. Something so small suddenly takes a completely different perspective and some of you will have heard the story before now but so well illustrates this I used to teach in Papua New Guinea happen again, he's a tropical country of creepy-crawlies and snakes and other very creative things to see. My other two people and mosquitoes. And you sleep under a mosquito-net in those kind of places. So I was sleeping under this mosquito night, I woke up, I guess it would be in 5:00 in the morning and there was a monster in my pillow Enormous must-watch just felt like I almost wondered whether I'd woken up when I felt. Like there was a a dragon or something that was about to eat me. I'm by the lat pulldown.

No pregnancy supposed to feel about this law, but when it's right in your face, it looked enormous. It look very scary. Look at this pregnancy. So, I could step on, if I wanted to, I didn't go to the room. In that moment, I felt

But you know, we need to get perspective. So I will lift my eyes up, let's look at the bigger picture.

Because sometimes because of our small perspective, we think there's no solution. We only have to step back a little bit.

Not a problem. When I was a little child I Used to Love Field in dams on beaches or sand castles. Do you need to tell you since we got married with a niece and nephew? I build a big sign castle and I like to see, I want you to say, I build a big sign counseling and what to stay until I can learn many, many years ago. And it was a great way for a long time for the tide to come in until she know why. But I wanted to stay in and watch. That sucks is I made my family another family. We used to go there from time to time and we take goblins B. I'm whole life, it was. You stop building at them between the two rocks and then you get to a point where everybody had to get spice swimming pool. Do you know what? I didn't realize until I was much older was like we ended up flooding the beach cuz I didn't have the bigger picture of a stream flowing through that. We were just interested in there. But actually we might we might seem to be smaller and smaller because he's swimming pool float. Again, I didn't have to be

Lift your eyes up and look to God. Jeremiah, 29, safety. So, we know this well for I know the thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope, you know, what dog does not deal with us in small pieces.

If you want, if you want to spoil the book, go to the back end of the book and read the last few pages of the book. And then, you know, it's going to go, some people do that. I don't know why, but I like the surprise. But you know what? The ending in God's book, Frost is good.

Dog wants to give us. Give us how am I going to do this? How am I going to do that?

Only a couple of weeks ago. It was. It didn't last that long, you wouldn't want to be out in it, but once you

Sometimes we just need to win jewelry store. We learn things.

Sometimes you probably get me out of here. And I just sent good sign. I'm with you. Why do you want me to get you out of it? Let me know with you through the trouble through the water. Let me show you that I'm faithful and true. Psalm 34 Verse 18. It says, if your heart is broken, you'll find God right there. If you're kicked in the gut will help you catch your breath. Again, the message version of Psalm 34 Vici take

there are things that happen in life, the breakout Hawks Something's we have to go through moments of stress and worry. I'm lost.

But God is with us in the midst of these times. Also in the Book of Psalms like it was great writing these things, he knew what it was like in Psalm 147. He says he heals those who have broken hearts, he takes care of that. With why does God take care of our wings? Because he wants us to have scars. That assigns a victory. No, that's call my hand. It's a Memory. I won't do it again. But if it's a sign of something I've learned is something I've been through. I'm just a tradition in Japan. Cold. Can sue me if you remember Philippa, Hanna? She came and she spoke to us a couple of years ago and consider gay is a principle of taking something is broken and repairing it with lacquer and with with gold inside the locker I'm so something which is broken that he's in this bowl with all those pieces. He's no longer.

But by repairing it with the gold suddenly becomes functional again and it becomes beautiful and the scars become a sign of completeness, not a sign of emptiness believe, God wants us to be broken.

If we come to him side, Lord help me. What can you do? I saw a 61 verse 3 in the message version. We know, we know Isaiah 61 well but what this says to care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, if the bouquets of roses instead of messages of Joy, instead of music app racing heart, instead of a language Spirit Oaks of righteousness, by God to display his glory. You know, there was a story since Jesus talked about it. He looked at the picture you had nothing on it. No Blossom. No fruit, cut it down and check it on the phone. But you know what? God wants us to be fruitful. The one supposed to be healthy.

So let me read it and maybe a few more familiar Vashon to console those who mourn in Zion to give them Beauty for Ashes. The oil of joy for Mourning,

The Garment of Praise for the spirit of heaviness but they shall be cool, Trees of Righteousness. The planting of the Lord that he may be glorified as I kind of bring this all together. I want to start by saying first, let me encourage you, don't live in Brokenness. If you need someone to pray with you, but pray with you. If you need to talk to someone, people can talk with you. Find someone who you trust those real. You are a real with God. In the same way that in the story. So I told you to tell you, we can send to someone and say, I'm okay. Thanks very much and we crying out. We could do the same to God. Not saying how you, how are you today. I'm okay God and goats game. I know you don't need to talk to me about it. We're not going to learn together. I'm going to go out to the flea markets, this weekend. I got to price. Unplug my hands, put my head, by the way, but I know, but I am good in those moments. We can just go. I'm sorry about the mess sometimes.

Let Spencer go. He's bigger than that. He's bigger than an empty cross. We celebrating an empty too, cuz Jesus is risen. He paid the price for you and me. Consequently, the father looks like you got it wrong, but you look at me through Christ. I see him. I don't see your wrong doing. so let me encourage this kind of clothes, but I want to

Jesse wants to pray for those who are right in the midst of a storm right now.

The song We sang All Through the storm, you would love. Is Bianca. My hope is in you. It's like Father God, if that's where I where do we come to you in the first thing? A little bit? There is we hold out your hands and say I'm sorry. We got it wrong. I'm sorry. Is part of the message that I created, what would you help me to find a way out? They sent through these like a ton from the, the wrong fuel to the wrong, dude. It's the wrong activities that I want to walk your way. So I'm going to want your wife to die. Do what you want with me. Father, God, would you want with me?

And in those moments, I just sent to the father would encourage us to list of all rights. And instead of looking at the problem, looking at the mess, he says, it's a real conversation right now, I can help you. I could hold you. I can join you with you. You are not alone.

My heart is in you alone. I'm so glad we come to you at the author and Perfecter of our fighting beside Lord, have your way in our midst.

Repair. Some of these, some of these open wounds. Lord, I pray that you told them, you complete them, you'd heal. Those may become beautiful memories of a b tree. That's been 10 times of a completely chapter of the ends to something. On the new chapter begins.

secondly, I want to pray for those who I just feel like that sitting on top of the volcano. Stopped bubbling boiling, you just sense the pressure behind you and this seems to be no answer.

Well, when was the last time you will write talked about it to Father God. You already knows, but he wants to compensation. I'm going to see a compass. Just me and him telling him about it because he knows already. Put on some lipstick. Maybe getting a pickup aspect, you might be seeing that bigger picture might be seeing actually, she's a tiny pimple of a volcano.

What's the biggest stuff going on?

So call the help us to share with you, how was the Chevy one another help us not to needs to cope all the time. Apples left out sometimes and let you have your way and I'll mixed often you change us. What's the circumstances change? Thank you that you get off the ice off. Worries and troubles.

fuzzy and finally I want to pray for anybody who Doesn't even feel that you can talk to God. You dummies to buy door if you don't know that I'm talking about.

I want to charge, you have a gun talk to the father, come before.

Just be still as they even write me songs. Be still and know that he is, God.

A week off the Easter. I don't know what the disciples would have been failing, but He was with them two weeks ago and now he's dead, but he's reason again. And there are so many stories been returning to be with the disciples and break bread with them, and got there with them on the beach.

But Jesus that I'm talking about right now is that for you too.

Why don't you get to know him as your friend and savior? I'm in.

So what do you want to give us a space for prayer lights running in service?
