We Are Blessed We Are Broken

H2odevos p4p Lent 2013 022613 “We are Blessed We are Broken”

"And you're Still in One Peace

Still in One Peace

We are blessed we are broken

Given one more chance to be

Found in you we are

In One Peace"

Still In One Peace by Peter Mayer

The following six words pretty much explain a great deal of human experience from a theological perspective, “
We are blessed we are broken.” At the same we exhibit a unique combination of blessedness and brokenness. Some days are filled with both realities in equal parts. On other days there seems to be more of one than the other.

I find these days of Lent to be a particularly good opportunity to ponder both parts of the equation, 
”We are blessed we are broken.”  Perhaps you do so as well. For during these forty days there are ample opportunities to reflect on the blessings of life as well as our broken pieces and parts. In some instances even the brokenness is a blessing. For we can learn and grow from all of our encounters.

Peter’s song, Still in One Peace plays with the notion of piece and peace. It amplifies the belief that even though we find ourselves in “pieces” at times, there is a Peace, a ONE PEACE that holds us all together.

So remember,

^7”And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Peace,
