Your Broken Is Beautiful by Amber Ginter
I used to believe the lie that I had to have everything together before I was capable of helping others. As a teen, this wasn’t a huge issue. Hosting events, volunteering, and serving were synonymous with my last name. I didn’t realize how broken, fragmented, and crazy my life would get over the next decade.

Her youthful face lit up with a smile, and she beckoned me to join her.

In a world where people tend to look down upon kids, it’s exciting for our kids (and for grownups who still feel a lot like kids) to realize how much God loves kids. In fact, God loves to use small people to accomplish His big plan—so much so that God Himself came as a kid to make the way for anyone who looks to Him to become a child of God.
