Shalom Sistas: Living Wholeheartedly in a Brokenhearted World

by Osheta Moore

1. Our hearts break when we believe God is displeased or angry with us. When our picture of God is anything but loving, good, and just, we’re in danger of never truly finding wholeness in him. But in the kingdom of God, we look to Jesus for our clearest picture of God. So we are invited to love and be loved. 2. Our hearts break when we believe that we are not wanted and that we have no place in the world. But in the kingdom of God, we remain in God’s love. So we are beloved. 3. Our hearts break when we feel that we are not enough so we believe in scarcity. But in the kingdom of God, there is flourishing, and goodness, and abundance. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). So we are enough.
