brokenness

the world is so incredible broken. from my 7th grade campers to my sweet grandmother. i see the pain everywhere. relationships are broken, there is lying, cheating, stealing, and even the kindest people bring you harm. the only one that can ever bring you wholeness is jesus. i wanted so desperately for my campers this week to understand that they could not be satisfied with the current state of their life. these lukewarm, youth group active, law abiding children were broken. and i could try to tell them this is the kindest way possible, but nothing was going to change them except the holy spirit. i could have every single right answer during cabin time and i could be a perfect example of a christian all week and that would not matter if jesus was not moving in their souls.
