God is my Crutch

What's easer to heal? A broken bone or your soul?
I felt the day my ankle broke, was the day my mind was renewed. I did my best to try and read The confessions of St. Augustine. This book is about 1700 years old. The part the stuck with me is 'True blessings will never distract You from God.'
If this is true then equally true is this, if You want God to truly bless You it might just be in ways you wouldn't call a blessing.
I've had many blessing in my life but the biggest one happened to me Friday morning Jan.12 2007 as I rode my skateboard down a winding B.C. mountain road. I was trying to develop a new way of stopping and as I was going pretty fast I pushed the tail of the board to the ground to try and slow down (this has worked for me in the past at slower speeds) but part of my foot touched the ground and I twisted my ankle outwards. I went to the hospital for 3 days and had surgery and now I have a plate on my ankle bone.
I'm sure a lot of people would ask how can I call this a blessing? I've been in church and reading the bible a lot over the past few years. I've sometimes looked at it as a game where I move up the latter and gain more gold stars and wrap my geo around being in the Christian spotlight.
I've herd that Jesus died for my sins and I will go to heaven because I believe in Him. I've herd that a sign of someone who believes in Jesus is that the Holy Spirit of God will live in ones heart and mind. A believer will begin to love the things that God loves and hate the things God hates. Man, my who life I've wanted to be fully there! But I haven't been. I've done good to look good. I'm sad to say I stopped doing most of my sins, out of the fear judgment. I must say, I've craved even looking like the guy who loves God and does good because he loves to.
How is a broken leg a blessing? As I layed in the hospital bed God let me know that I don't need to do anything but trust that Him and I are on good terms forever because His Son Jesus took the punishment of my sins away.
It's a blessing to know all I need to do is believe. I'm not trying to get any gold starts anymore. It's a huge deep drive coming from my heart I just want to do good and help people.
I am blessed because it took a broken leg for me to understand that God truly wants to bless You. l'm not asking for a round of broken legs but my prayer is this "Lord God truly bless my friends, family and the one reading/watching this, Lord God truly bless us, amen."




True blessings will never distract You from God.
May God truly bless You.

I have never had a broken leg or anything like that, but when I was little; a total of 4-5 times the bone in my right arm had popped out of the socket and that was painful. And haven't had anything like that happen since

Been there done that. It is interesting that Love is the only human expirence that when remember we are in Love again! You will think of you broken bone in the future and remember the pain but you won't feel the pain! Not so with LOVE. Not So with GOD'S LOVE for us! Thanks for posting!

God Bless
