Devotional: Hebrews 10:10

Humans, if anything, are flawed. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just how we are made. It’s kind of like Kintsugi, the Japanese art of finding the beauty and celebrating the flaws in a broken piece of pottery by repairing it with gold. It emphasizes how much a piece has been used, loved, and served its purpose, and now the flaws become a celebrated part of the pieced.

That’s how we can view ourselves after we’ve come to know and accept Jesus. Absolutely we’re flawed, we were never meant to be perfect, but we also weren’t meant to stay in shame and punishment for our lifetime.

Things I've Learned from Christmas and Holiday Movies

This time of year can be difficult for many people. There are struggles of loneliness, depression, feelings of not having enough or not being enough to others. The advertising around the holidays often show “perfect” families with “perfect” dinners in “perfect” settings, and that is not the reality for most of the world.

God is Running After Us

We spend so much of our time running from God, running away from the blessings he’s given us, running away from the guidance he’s provided us, because we’ve done such a good job at twisting his message. People take his love, his grace, his mercy, his goodness, and twist it into something they use to take power, privilege, money, and fame.

Not all people have done that, but too many have, and too many have shattered the lives of innocent people, making them fearful and angry at anything that has God’s message attached to it.

God’s running after us, because as humans, we keep messing up.
