BROKEN. That’s how I have felt lately. Just like my broken clay pots. I’m a lot like those broken vessels. My life may look “good enough” on the outside, but my heart still has broken places in it that can never be fixed.
We all have those broken places in our lives where bad things happened to us. Or maybe things didn’t turn out like we had planned. Maybe we have been disappointed by something or someone. Maybe we have things in our past that have left scars on our hearts.
But here is the good news:
Beautiful things can grow in broken places.
God is growing beautiful things in me. Beauty has sprung from my broken places. In my broken places, I have found a better perspective of what is truly important in life. I have found a deeper walk with Christ. Only Christ can bring beauty from our broken places. But we have to let Him. We have to trust. We have to pray. We have to hide His word in our hearts.
I love 2 Corinthians 12:9,
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (brokeness).” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses (brokeness), so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
God’s love can be made perfect in our brokeness. Praise HIM!
We all are broken, aren’t we? Some of us have little cracks in our lives and some of us have big gaping holes.
My prayer is that we would allow Jesus to grow beauty in our broken places.
