2 Ba-Korinto 4:8-9

Does your past haunt you with guilt and a broken spirit? Is your life like a broken record—one in which your past is replayed over and over again? In this final message we will learn how the records of our past lives can break us and bring us to our knees. The beauty of this is that Christ had a broken record as well. In fact, He was broken to save and heal our brokenness.

Life breaks us all so says Earnest Hemingway, but many are made stronger at the broken places. We will journey together through things in life that can break us and what God does in our brokenness to strengthen us and to bring beauty and joy out of our broken places. We will see what James tells us is the reality of trials, the response we are to have and the result of our response to those trials.

Do you ever feel lonely? When you are lonely, you ache for companionship. But when you seek solitude, you enjoy being alone. These guided meditations are treasured times of solitude with God. Times of solitude to hear His voice, even when your world is noisy. These Christ-centered meditations are treasures of solitude to help you stop minding worldly time and cast your cares on Him who created time.

The only security we have is in our Lord. We have this innate need to feel protected against outside forces. When things go wrong and it feels like there is no protection left, it can throw us into a desperate state. The best thing to do is stand on God’s word and what He tells us. We must take refuge in HIM.
