The more broke you are the more the light gets through

Ever since I got sick I made the choice to show my pain, suffering, emotions and hard times instead of hiding it all because believers tend to do the whole "we have Jesus so we have to be 100% happy at all times".  thing. Which could not be more wrong. Why do I share the raw times? In the majority of churches it is "expected" to pretend like everyone is okay. If you ask people they say "I am fine" instead of being open about the trials they are living with because church is the put on your happy face cause God loves you place.   Showing and being open about our trials shows others that we are not perfect, and we can let others see how we as believers deal these trials. People are watching.  Always, to see what you choose to do when life hits you out of nowhere. You can be bitter and hide everything or you can show the power of love in suffering and God's ability to make new and heal you. If you hide that you are missing a chance to let people see God.

"Don’t be ashamed of your past

If you’re shattered like a piece of glass
The more broke you are the more the light gets through
Show your wounds and your flaws
Show them why you still need the cross
Let them see the work He’s doing in you
That even in the darkest place
His love can make you radiate"




As believers we need the cross just as much as the lost.












"Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is
Keep hoping, keep on shining
And they’ll see His light burning in your heart
And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up
Let the world see what you’re made of
That His love’s alive in your deepest parts
Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are
He made you to glow in the dark"
