a beautiful mess

Life is messy. There is nothing to do but live life and not become consumed with the mess. I am the mess but through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, I am also clean. I sometimes forget that. I let myself get distracted by the mess, and instead of focusing on the qualities of Christ that bring me freedom and truth, I focus on my brokenness. Yes. I am broken...but Christ has redeemed me and put me back together in a better, more complete way. Being broken and healed by Jesus has made me stronger than I ever was before. I thank God every day that he has brought the healing power of Christ into my life...that he has offered me grace and mercy...that he loves me.
