The Cure

People are not the cure to our brokenness. Sure, they may help us, they may put a smile on our faces, but they aren't the cure...yet I find myself living as if they are. Desiring attention, desiring love, desiring the company of friends, even desiring a sense of fame and accomplishment...these will never heal me. 


Yet what do I do? I find myself seeking a sense of worth through my relationships, through my social media likes, even my accomplishments, however small they may be. Some days I find myself seeking people as if the satisfaction of God's love could never fill me...as if I've never experienced the overflowing goodness of His love.

That's not to say we don't need people, because we do. We were not meant to walk this life alone. We were made for relationships, for community, to help lift each other up in our brokenness.

It's when our acceptance, our worth, our solution in all our brokenness, is found in people...that's when we never experience freedom.


Jesus and His incomparable love is the only cure. That's when our brokenness can turn into a broken chain.
