Broken: Blessed & Broken

John Mayer Apologizes For Using the "N" Word



In a recent interview, he bluntly and boastfully confessed his addiction to pornography and sex. In that confession he used the "N" word as he talked about his sexual distaste in African-American women and also referred to his male genital as a white supremacist. I have a friend who's a big fan of him and has lately read a lot about him. A lot of which is too sad to mention, but he seems to be in a very broken state which I believe to be the very state Jesus declares us blessed in when He says, "blessed are the poor in spirit..." Matthew 5:3

Now I realize the human side of us would want to cast stones and chuck 'em at his at face, but those of you who have experienced God's grace, to some degree, would rather draw with your finger on the sand.

I personally see Mayer as King Solomon: rich, poetic, promiscuous... but we all remember what happens to him at the end, he discovers that there is nothing worth more living for than to know and be known by God. And I hope and pray that this man might come to confess that same fact.
