"We live in a broken world".
These are words which we often read or hear and which reflect the fact that a majority of humans are either disappointed in life or broken hearted or simply down and out. They do not experience peace And that is exactly what Christians are mandated to do. Not condemn but to heal and restore. As Jasmin Patterson says we need to stop acting like critics and start acting like intercessors.
In fact, It is our bounden duty towards fellow humans, mandated by God and enabled by Jesus Christ. Gods restoring power is one of the greatest promises from Scripture and something we can carry to everyone.
Ms Patterson also refers to Ezekial story. How we can partner with God to heal the broken. Do our part to sow seeds of life, hope and transformation however we can with our resources, relationships and sphere of influence.
Like Sarah, if God has made us laugh, we need to make people around us laugh too.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. — Genesis 21:6
Similarly if we are healed, we can bring healing. We can be thier change through prayer and support.
Often we look at needs and say “someone should do something about that. Well today you and I can do something: pray. Interceded. And if there is something more we are enabled to do then do it.
In a classic western movie, I remember a dialogue by a cowboy, "if you want to shoot then shoot. Don't talk." So, if we want to do something about the problems and brokenness of this world then do it. Let's not simply talk.
