The Broken Places First

   I have been thinking about brokenness lately, those broken places in our lives where we are wounded. Specifically, what happens when we let our woundedness define us. When we have to explain how we have been hurt in order to let people know who we are, are we really letting healing happen? I am not advocating for immediate healing from emotional hurts, but I would like to challenge us to not let our hurts be our primary identity, replacing that we are children of God.
