For all of those who have been following this blog hoping to find a message about how and when God will repair your life, your search can now come to an end. I say this because you will never find such a message. God doesn’t repair lives!

I’m sorry if that’s what you thought you were getting, but it just won’t happen!

The reason I am saying this is because many people look to God to ‘repair’ only parts of their life that are broken. They ask him for small, easy things while deciding to accept that they will have to live with larger, more ‘impossible’ problems. In doing this, they may even experience blessings but still feel empty, frustrated, and struggle to maintain their faith.

In one of his Psalms, king David described similar feelings: “I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.” (Psalm 31:12)

And this is the problem of many believers: they go to church but have a broken life.

I often wonder what they are praising God for? What’s the point in believing in a great God but having a broken life?

Although you are a person of faith, your tears right now are proof of your unhappiness. Do you feel broken? Find it hard to trust? Are you depressed? Losing faith?

Listen, God does not repair anybody’s life. He gives new life. And so, if you are struggling with the feelings mentioned above, it’s because you haven’t yet experienced the new life that God offers. God doesn’t do repair work or patching up – He takes the broken pieces of your life and transforms it. And He never does an incomplete job. He transforms every area of your life and also saves your soul.

This is the beauty of being in the presence of God; we all have problems – external problems, but they don’t break our spirit. They don’t lead to depression.

So make it your top priority to fight for this new life. Seek God as though it was a matter of life and death (it actually is a matter of life and death, but that’s a whole new post!), and in doing, so you will never again feel broken. You will have the strength to face whatever comes and the joy of having the assurance that God is with you in this life and eternally.

May the God of the Bible bless you.
