			Broken People</p>
<p>			<strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">&#8220;God is building His kingdom through broken things.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">&#8220;God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">&#8220;Heaven is filling with earth&#8217;s broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">&#8220;Christ can take the life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-264"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">&#8220;Christ can lift earth&#8217;s saddest failure up to heaven&#8217;s glory. J. R. Miller</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">God sees in us what we cannot see in ourselves. He sees who we can be, our potential and true self, and who we truly are. He extracts our beauty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">We are broken but God is in the business of restoring us to be more than we ever thought possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Grateful am I that He did this for me</strong>.</span></p>
