Drawn by Grace: How God Meets Us in Our Brokenness
Shabar (Hebrew): to smash, shatter, or break into pieces.
Main Points:
• Divine Empathy triumphs over Divine distance.
A. God doesn’t just sit back and watch our suffering from a safe distance. He allows himself to be accessible in our time of need
Psalms 34:18
Hebrews 4:15-16
Takeaway: God’s power is defined by his willingness to be vulnerable. A God that is protected from suffering could never truly love us in our darkest moments. His brokenness is not a lack of strength; it is a natural consequence of infinite love.
• Moving from Shattered to Strengthened
A. Release hidden pain and shattered emotions. Trying to hide hurts only increases physical and mental suffering.
Psalms 32:3-4
B. God will never reject us even in our weakest moment; He welcomes a humble heart.
Psalms 51:17
C. In His blueprint, no broken piece is cast away.
Romans 8:28
Takeaway: The Hebrew language reveals a beautiful truth: God’s presence acts like a magnet to our broken pieces. You don’t have to fix yourself to reach Him. Your brokenness is the exact thing that draws Him closest to you.
