She races up to me, sharing her finds.\u00a0Over and over she brings them to me, delighting in each of them as treasure:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cMom, isn\u2019t that orange color beautiful?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cLook at the curves of this one, aren\u2019t they pretty?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cFeel how smooth this shell is!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI love the stripes on this one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0As I survey her pile, I realize that none of these shells are ones that I would have chosen. These are not the ones you\u2019d set out on display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They are broken and chipped, each marred in some way. While my daughter notices the beauty, I see the brokenness. I observe what is missing, rather than seeing the remnant of loveliness that remains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As I look at the shells, I realize each of us are a bit like them: broken and chipped in some way. We retain remnants of glory, but none of us retain the perfection we were created to display. It\u2019s for this very reason our world is full of the greed, racism, terrorism, unkindness, anger, and all the other forms of brokenness we see each day (both on the news and in the mirror). Like these shells, even the best of us are too marred to be taken home and set out on display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And yet, in the midst of all the bad news, there is hope. The good news of the gospel is that God is working to make us new. While these shells are broken without hope of returning to their former beauty, if we are in Christ, we are being gradually changed. Our outer selves may be wasting away, but our inner self is being renewed, day by day\u00a0\u00a0(2 Cor 4:16).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/melissa-kruger\/brokenness-beauty-the-god-who-makes-all-things-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-142463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.thegospelcoalition.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/24164152\/IMG_3017-1920x1440.jpg\" alt=\"SUNDAY CHOICE - Brokenness, Beauty, &amp; the God Who Makes All Things New \u2013 By Charles Schokman\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Image Source :\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/melissa-kruger\/brokenness-beauty-the-god-who-makes-all-things-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thegospelcoalition<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Just as my daughter noticed the individual beauty in each of her shells, it\u2019s a hopeful endeavor to look\u00a0for signs of God\u2019s redeeming work in each other. In the midst of grieving our brokenness, we can also rejoice at the hints of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness that we see lived out in the body of Christ. By doing so, we display\u00a0the paradox of being those who are sorrowful, yet rejoicing (2 Cor. 6:10).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on us, because the Lord has anointed us to preach good news to the poor. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He\u00a0has sent us to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release us from darkness&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">to bestow on us a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. \u2014Courtesy of Melissa Kruger (adapted)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Pray this hymn will be a Blessing to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3mQ8ZOuhduo?si=JpZkh-PuLG8C3nNA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #800000;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUNDAY CHOICE &#8211; Brokenness, Beauty, &amp; the God Who Makes All Things New \u2013 By Charles Schokman Image Source :\u00a0lynnhpryor &#8220;As we sit on the beach, I watch my youngest as she hunts for shells.
