I am a broken cell phone.
I am a broken cell phone.
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it,
you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name to dwell there.
And you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’
Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.
I am broken, and everything I have is a gift.
“And you shall make response before the Lord your God, ‘A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
I am broken, and I have no heroic backstory.
“And you shall make response before the Lord your God, ‘A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
And the Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor.
I am broken, and I am a slave.
And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders.
I am broken, and I have a savior.
And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
I am broken, and I am blessed.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
No part of my story depended on my merit.
He died to save me just as I am.
