There is a cross that makes us all safe. Jesus is drawn to the broken parts of us we would never want to draw attention to. Jesus is most attracted to the busted and sees the broken as the most beautiful. And our God wants the most unwanted parts of us most. "Heart-shattered lives ready for love don't for a moment escape God's notice...The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit." (Psalm 51:17 MSG, HCSB).
Nothing pleases God more than letting Him touch the places you think don't please Him. God is drawn to broken things - so He can draw the most beautiful things.
