Psalm 51:18-19
For you do not desire sacrifice; a burnt offering you would not accept. My sacrifice, God, is a broken spirit; God, do not spurn a broken, humbled heart.

We’re all broken in some way…messed-up somewhere inside. But most people try to hide it…pretend it’s not there…and sometimes beat themselves up over it…feeling like a failure…feeling like God is pointing to it in disdain. What if God wanted to love you in your brokenness? What if God…knowing this brokenness…wanted nothing more than to be with you precisely in that place to let you know you are loved unconditionally! Remember that Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do” as he hung on the cross. What more proof do you need? Instead of trying to earn points with God by making sacrifices this Lent, why not give up your ego? Why not offer to God your brokenness? Sacrifice your ego…let it go…so God can fill you and lead you to healing, wholeness and your true self.
