Broken into Beautiful

Introduction:

God Loves Broken things.

We have all heard the saying if it’s not broke don’t fix it.

If we are not broken God cannot fix us.

We have also heard that a broken clock is right twice a day.

There are 24 hours in a day. There are 1440 minutes in a day. 86,400 seconds in a day. 86,398 seconds it is incorrect. How happy a broken clock must be to be correct for 2 seconds of a day. but the fact the clock does not know how broken that it is. Not so dissimilar from us that many times we do not know just how broken that we are.
