Tonight I want to talk about How God can turn Beautifully Broken Things into something Wonderfully Made.
Before I go into scripture tonight, I want to share a song by Plumb and a song By Matthew West. The first song by Plumb says this: Every tear, every doubt, Every time you've fallen down, When you're hurting, feeling ashamed
When you're numbing off your pain, When you've lost your way, And feel so far away, You're not, You're beautifully broken, And you can be whole again, Even a million scars doesn't change whose you are, You're worthy
Beautifully broken, Every fear of being loved, For who you are no matter what, When you're stumbling, And you're haunted by regret, And the darkness closes in, Just listen
You're beautifully broken, And You can be whole again
Even a million scars doesn't change whose you are, You're worthy, Beautifully broken, You're beautifully broken (beautifully broken), You're beautifully broken, Oh, the God who made the stars Is the God that made your heart
And He's holding you right now, He can heal the broken parts, And make beauty from the scars, the scars, Beautiful scars!
The next song I would like to share from Matthew West says this: Once upon a time Life was so innocent
Somewhere along the line Your smile came and went
They made you feel like You just don't measure up
They try to steal your light But you are a treasure of
The Maker of the stars, the stars, You don't have to wonder You are wonderfully made, Perfectly beautiful in every way, Wonderfully, wonderfully made, You're anything but typical, it's true, They ain't seen anybody quite like you, God never makes a mistake, You are wonderfully, wonderfully made, See, once upon a time
There was a secret place Where heaven's hand designed
Even those freckles on your face, Some things you'd rather trade, Some things you try to fix, Love has one thing to say It's perfect just the way it is (just the way it is)
Just the way it is, ooh (just the way it is) You don't have to wonder, You are wonderfully made, Perfectly beautiful in every way, Wonderfully, wonderfully made, You're anything but typical, it's true, They ain't seen anybody quite like you, God never makes a mistake, You are wonderfully, wonderfully made, So, the world could see the works of God On display, So let your doubts and your fears And your questions fade away, Let them fade away
Once upon a time life was so innocent I think it's time that smile Found its way back home again, You don't have to wonder, You are wonderfully made, Perfectly beautiful in every way, Wonderfully, wonderfully made, You're anything but typical, it's true, They ain't seen anybody quite like you, God never makes a mistake, You are wonderfully, wonderfully made
Now let's look at some scriptures talk about how God takes the Beautifully Broken Things and turns them into something Wonderfully Made.
The Scriptures we are going to take a look at tonight are Psalm 34 verse 18, Psalm 147 verse 3, Psalm 51 verse 17, James 4 verse 6, Galatians 2 verse 20, Proverbs 17 verse 22.
The other scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Psalm 139 verse 14, Zephaniah 3 verse 17, Jeremiah 31 verse 3, Matthew 6 verse 33, and Romans 12 verse 1-2.
In the scriptures we see how our Brokenness can turn into something Wonderfully Made. We see how as children of God who have Brokenness at times, that God reminds us we are fearfully and wonderfully made children of God created in His Image and He will take brokenness that is beautifully broken and turn it into something wonderfully made, because we are all made in The Image Of God. We don't have to be afraid as God's children, because God's Got This and He's Got You and Me.
God takes our broken pieces to make the broken pieces whole again, and when He makes them whole again, and we see that those broken pieces are not broken but are wonderfully made, and we are made whole again.
It's like in the one song, what can make us whole again Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus. What can make us new again, Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus. So, when we take a song like this we see how God makes us new, makes us whole, and shows us we are so much more than Beautifully Broken, but we are Wonderfully Made because we are never ever going to worry what God has planned because it's all in His Hands and because it's all in His Hands we don't have to worry of what comes next because it's all working together for His Good and For His Glory. It's working out in His Timing and His Alone.
Here are the last two things that I would like to share with everyone tonight. The first thing I would like to share comes from Matthew West again and the lyrics of this song say this: If grace was a kingdom, I'd stopped at the gate, Thinkin' I don't deserve to pass through After all of the mistakes that I've made, Oh but I heard a whisper As heaven bent down, Said child, don't you know that the first will be last And the last get a crown, Now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King, I wish I could bring so much more, But if it's true
Tell me there's hope for sinners like me.
