A beautiful perspective! ❤️
There’s a small pile of broken things beside my husband’s dresser. Our children bring these things here because they know that their daddy can fix almost anything. They don’t even cry anymore over broken toys, they just leave them here.
A toy may need new batteries, super glue or even a stitch or two but eventually it will be repaired and returned to its little owner.
I’m fascinated by the faith the kids have in their father. They know exactly who can make their broken things new.
And that left me thinking about the broken things in my life. The plans that didn’t go my way. The dreams that unraveled before my eyes. The mistakes and messes that I’ve made. The unexpected twists and turns life has brought my way. So very many broken things.
And I wondered, what would happen if I just left those things at my Father’s feet.
Would he glue the broken pieces back together? Would he carefully stitch and patch the unraveled dreams? Would he be able to recharge the weariness that I sometimes feel in my soul?
He is, in fact, the Master of making broken things new.
What if I had the faith of my children? The faith to leave something broken for my Father to fix—knowing it will not be exactly the way it was before—but he can make something good from the pieces.
He is, in fact, the One who can work all things together for my good.
No matter how broken.
No matter how ugly.
No matter how hopeless.
Maybe you have felt broken too. Can you leave your broken pieces with God? He can make something so beautiful from a basket of broken things.
