Being A Fixer

I know this guy who "lives to serve."

Personally I like to "fix things."  I want things to work, and I believe I am the one who should make things work.  I am the one who can solve conflicts.  I don't know if "fixing things" is equivalent  to service, but deep in my heart, I want to fix things.  I want to make things right.

But the problem is I need someone or something to fix me.  I need someone to forgive me for all of those times that I broke something, for all of those times when I thought I was fixing, when I was really breaking.  I need someone to lift me from the pit of this worldly existence.  I need someone to help this brokenness inside of me to start healing.  And I need it bad, real bad.

I need the great I AM.  I need the peace of Jesus Christ.  It is one thing to serve. It is another to live a life of love and be faithful to the real fixer, to the one who served us so well on Calvary.
