THE BIBLE VERSES THAT UNDERGIRD
THIS ENTIRE SERIES!
Brothers and sisters, I know that
I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I
forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach
the goal before me. (Philippians 3:13 – Easy To Read
Version)
You will experience the truth, and the truth will free you . . . and if the Son sets you free,
you are free through and through.
(John 8:32, 36 – The Message)
MOSAIC A piece of art created by the creative arrangement of small, broken pieces of
stone, tile or glass.
So I went down to the potter’s shop and found him making
something on his wheel. And as I watched, the clay vessel in his
hands became flawed and unusable. So the potter started
again with the same clay.
He crushed and squeezed and shaped it into another vessel that was to his liking. In that
moment, I heard again God’s word . . .
O people of Israel, can I not do the same to you as this potter has done? You are like clay in My hands—I will mold you as I see fit. (Jeremiah 18:3-6 – The
Voice)

A broken spirit is my sacrifice, God. You won’t despise a heart,
God, that is broken and crushed. (Psalm 51:17 – Contemporary
English Bible)
If you’re broken, you’ll find GOD right there; if you’re
kicked in the gut, He’ll help you
catch your breath. (Psalm 34:18 – The Message)
All the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe - people and things, animals and atoms
- get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies,
all because of his death, his blood that poured down from
the Cross.
You yourselves are a case study
of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned
to God, thinking rebellious thoughts
of him, giving him trouble every chance you got.
But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross,
actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God's side
and put your lives together,
whole and holy in his presence. You don't walk away from a gift
like that! (Colossians 1:20-23 – The
Message)
God, pick up the pieces of my life. Put me back together
