The Need To Replace

How often is it, that when you lose/damage/break something of value, you first panic and then simply go and replace that which is no more.
Good thing Jesus isn't like that with us. I mean, of course he didn't break us, but we ARE damaged goods. We are broken, after all. But by his grace he didn't just leave us that way. Nor will he ever. He loves us too much to do that. In fact, he promises that he will fix, find and make us whole again. He is the reason we exist.
Why is it then, when we break out lose some thing we freak out and sing trust him. If he is the glue that holds our lives together, when things fall apart, instead of running to other things, we should run to him.
I am writing this out of my own need for him to change me. To challenge me. Shelf me and mild me. I broke my phone some how and instead of going to Jesus in prayer, I freaked out. I obviously need to work on that in my life.
Thanks Jesus fit reminding me of this lesson.
