Oh the Brokenness

Who will love a broken world?  If left to our own love, we can only pity the world.  Our own love can not in any way begin to go to the depth that is needed to truly love those in this broken world.  We may give the appearance of love, but it will not last.  The brokenness and pain will eventually become too much and our own love will not stand. We will need a break or we may abandon the brokenness all together.  It is only the love of God as demonstrated and offered in Christ that can love to the depth that can touch this broken world that we are a part of.  He never leave us or forsake us.  He came and gave all of Himself for our brokenness.  Only as I embrace that with total abandonment can I begin to love those broken that surround me.  "O Love that will not let me go.  I rest my weary soul in Thee."
