b'\\u201cUgh,\\u201d my daughter said in disgust. Whole peppercorns covered Eloise\\u2019s\\nbroccoli alfredo and looked like mini meatballs floating on a sea of white\\nsauce. The culprit: a broken pepper grinder. Lately, our pepper grinder had\\nbeen breaking the peppercorns in half instead of grinding them. Now, the\\ngrinder lay in pieces, and I made a mental note to add a new one to the\\nshopping list.\\nEloise set the broken pieces on the counter. I thought about throwing it\\nall in the trash as I headed out the door to my weekly small group. My\\nhusband was doing the dishes, so I decided to let him deal with it. To my\\nsurprise, the grinder was put back together when I came home. I twisted it\\nand smiled in delight at the finely\\nground pepper on my counter. We didn\\u2019t need a new grinder; the old one only\\nrequired tightening and some TLC\\u2014Tender Loving Care.\\nWhat about you? Is there something in your life that seems broken beyond\\nrepair? Has a friendship ended? Has your chance at making the team\\nevaporated? Have you given up on a dream? Or made a decision you regret?\\nAs humans, we all make mistakes and we all sin. However, we are never out\\nof God\\u2019s reach for His forgiveness, grace, or love. He never looks at what\\nyou\\u2019ve done and thinks you\\u2019re a lost cause. There is nothing that will make\\nGod stop loving you.\\nThe most magnificent gesture of TLC in all human history is Jesus\\u2019s death\\non the cross for our sins. Because of His sacrifice, we are never broken\\nbeyond repair. When Jesus rose from the dead, He revealed that God is\\ngreater than every kind of brokenness\\u2014even sin and death. If we\\u2019ve put our\\ntrust in Jesus, our sins are totally\\nforgiven, and the Holy Spirit is in us, healing the broken places in our\\nhearts and transforming us to be more and more like Jesus.\\nIf you feel broken, remember that God is ready to pick you up and put you\\nback together. When you ask for His forgiveness and guidance, He\\u2019ll get you\\nback on track. With His strength, you can ask others for forgiveness and\\nwork to make amends. With His love, you\\u2019re never broken beyond repair. \\u2022\\nErin Nestico\\n\\u2022 Can you think of a time when you felt broken? Is there a broken area in\\nyour life right now?\\n\\u2022 Have you ever been hesitant to come to Jesus in your brokenness? How can\\nremembering His \\u201ctender loving care\\u201d give us hope to approach Him? (Hebrews\\n4:14-16). \\nNo power in the sky above or in the earth below\\u2014indeed, nothing in all\\ncreation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is\\nrevealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
