Can Steemit help fix my furnace?

I am able to turn on the pilot to my furnace, but the furnace doesn't respond at all to my thermostat. I check the bottom of my furnace near the pilot and I noticed that the wires to the "THERMO" part were cut off. I just recently bought this house and I am trying to do repairs around the house.

I am a new homeowner and I don't have a lot of money, so I am trying to fix what I can. Does anybody know how to fix this? If you don't know the answer then maybe that is okay, but can you please resteem this to your followers so that I can get help?
