Finding Beauty In Broken Things
CREATE FLOURISHING FOR PEOPLE AND PLACES
God cares about people and places. Throughout Scripture, he is consistently telling people to travel to certain locations and meet with specific groups and individuals. Jesus’ last words to his followers include a list of cities and a call to reconcile broken relationships.
The extravagant love we have received brings about a longing and requirement to make a positive difference —to influence society, culture, and physical space—wherever we find ourselves planted. We know that we can help bring about human flourishing by adding value to people and places that are considered of little or no value because of their brokenness.
As Faith Driven Investors, we have front-row seats to see God at work. To see the virtues of God, the glimpses of his nature, his personality, in people, places, and things, and then do what we can to bring those out. We’re dredging through what many would overlook to help people see that God is there and that he has been there all along.
USING SCRIPTURE AS OUR GUIDE
Psalm 34:18 — The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Hebrews 4:15,16 — For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4 — Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
