Do you ever notice that there are things in our lives that are broken, but not so much that we actually fix it? It's that toilet you have to jiggle the handle on...or the car you have to pump the gas just right for it to start...or the furnace that makes that noise that isn't normal.
We tolerate these inconveniences because we don't want to go to the trouble to fix them. It's only when a stranger encounters them that we realize how broken they really are.
The brokenness we tolerate isn't just confined to DIY projects around the house. There is brokenness in our spiritual lives that, sadly, we tolerate. Fixing these areas of sin, temptation and guilt may take hard work. But we will never be whole without doing it.
