When one experiences brokenness, openness and open discourse is humanly impossible with out our Savior. His wounded hands and feet run to the broken one with the beauty of the gospel and He reaches out to the shaking hurt one with hands pierced to hold him. Often neglected though is that He reaches for another Spirit-led human to be His ambassador. Some come to tell the broken that Christ is their answer and this is true but neglect that they are often His messenger for the ones they see in pain. Harsh words do not always come by obvious tongue lashings but rather willfully ignorant tones of voice and mistimed stares and hurtful scorning and scolding glances. How beautiful are the feet of those who spread His Word by faithful actions to reach out as Jesus' hands and feet (See Isaiah 52.7.). When one experiences love, joy and hope (expectation) as Paul and Peter write about, Faith is strengthened (Neh 8.10, Gal 5), and peace (tranquility of mind See Is 26.3) . He guards us in mature and continuous peace when we glue onto Jesus the beginner and maturer of our faith (Heb 12.2).
