Our Brokenness Lets God’s Light In!
Our Brokenness Lets God Light In!
“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in….”
Ernest Hemingway
“Kintsukuroi” is the traditional Japanese method of repairing pottery with precious metal so the repair becomes part of the history of the item.
Although you might see Hemingway and a Japanese repairman as opposites; I believe God has a defined purpose that intertwines both ideas. We are all flawed or broken in some way, some minor, some severe. God’s healing power and presence come in through the cracks in our human armor; and as we are healed, our experience becomes a precious tool and reminder that nothing is impossible with God. Those cracks then become the wisdom for us to help and heal others.
We are called to be healed and be healers. Turn towards the light of God and feel the cracks fill in with Divine Peace!
Praying with you, and for you!
