broken thursday.

its not too late. its never too late. tell about the parable of the workers- they all started working at different times-the one who started last still received the same benefits.


are you broken? today i was. today i hurt on a level i never knew was possible. a place of me felt deep deep pain i never knew existed. it prompted me to share this. there are many of us who have been broken. our spirits are broken. our hearts are broken. we are a “hot mess”. i, kayla, admin. of grayculture am human, and some days a “hot mess”. i know right, hard to believe?

this is for anyone who is broken. believe it is the place God wants you. prepare your heart for absolute life in HIM.

young adults-you can do this. kayla-you can do this. grayculture-we can do this. we can impact culture. we can live for the Lord. we will not back down. we will not stand aloneORafraid. we have value in the Lords eyes and there are lost people out there who don’t know about their value. we need to run to them with the word.

dear young adult that is hurting,
you need to know that god says you are a royal priesthood. you are his kid. he has plans for your life. you are a chosen people. you will sit with him as a co-heir. you will be his glory. you will be the salt&light he has called you to be. you are beautiful and do not need to accept the lies satan is trying to whisper.

this is what i believe God wants you to hear.

broken child:
i, God, have something for you to do for me that no one else can. stop running from my love, it hurts me. i am calling to your, drawing you to me. i know its hard for you to love, and to let someone love, but you have to trust me; i wont hurt you. i sent my son to die just for you. you mean everything to me. your salvation means everything to me. i am a jealous god-jealous of your love-stop giving it away to the things in life that seem to fill that empty spot. i know about that empty spot, and only i can truly satisfy that place deep deep down in your heart. seek me-you will find me. i will wait for you. how long will i have to wait? im anxious to spend time pouring goodness into your life. will you let me? will you please let me into your brokenness. you see, your life was a glass picture. satan threw some stones at the picture. when you look at the picture all you see is big cracks, missing pieces, shattered dreams and glass. your holding all of the pieces in your hand- your cutting yourself. tori, when will you give me what looks like a mess. you see i say “all things work together for the good of those who believe”. i want to take that broken little picture and put together a mosaic. its going to be perfect. i designed it unique- unlike any one elses mosaic. all those pieces fit together for a reason. you will do great and mighty things for me. stay faithful. stay strong. my son is here praying for you at my feet right now. i love you. i am god, and i love you. you may not know who you are but who you are really isn’t important- who i am is. i am your provider. i am, i am. i am your healer. i am peace that passes all you understand. i am love,mercy,grace.

talk to me, tell me your pain. i hear you call to me. i love you.

God.


“when life is heavy&hard to take, go off by yourself. enter the silence. bow in prayer. dont ask questions: wait for hope to appear. dont run from trouble. take it full-face. the “worst” is never the worst. why? because the master won’t ever walk out and fail to return. if he works severly, he also works tenderly. his stockpiles of loyal love are immense.” lamentations 3:28-33
