In Scripture we read about broken people God raised up in marvellous ways. <\/p>\n<p>He used Moses, a murderer, to deliver the Hebrew slaves. <\/p>\n<p>He used Jacob, a liar and a trickster, to fulfil His promise to Abraham. <\/p>\n<p>He even included Rahab, a prostitute, in Jesus\u2019 family line. And if God redeemed them, He can redeem you too. Brokenness should never keep you bound. Rather, it should release you into a life of freedom. A truly broken person understands the reality of Jesus\u2019 words: <i>\u2018Apart from Me you can do nothing.\u2019<\/i> (John 15:5 NLT)<\/p>\n<p><i> A broken person who has learned to depend on God is a force to be reckoned with.<\/i> When you\u2019re looking at a past strewn with failures, it\u2019s difficult to see a bright future, just as it\u2019s difficult to drive when you\u2019re looking in the rear-view mirror. You need to glance in your rear-view mirror occasionally, but if you keep focusing on it you\u2019ll end up hurting yourself and others. That\u2019s why the windscreen is so much bigger than the rear-view mirror\u2014it shows you where you\u2019re heading instead of where you\u2019ve been! <\/p>\n<p> When you turn to God He will forgive you, restore you, and use you for His purposes. He said, <i>\u2018I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them. I will comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips.\u2019<\/i> (Isaiah 57:18\u201319 NLT)  The word for today is\u2014it\u2019s never too late for God!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifefmcookislands.org\/soulfood\/\">SoulFood<\/a>: Jer 25\u201327, Luke 3:11\u201320, Ps 64, Pr 14:25\u201328<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The Word for Today<\/em><span style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\"> is authored by Bob and Debby Gass and published under licence from UCB International Copyright \u00a9<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway!\u2019 Isaiah 57:18 NLT Are you asking, \u2018Is it too late for God to do something with me?\u2019 It\u2019s never too late for God!
