2 Samuel 13:1-39; Zephaniah 1:1-18; Galatians 1:1-24
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
Kintsukuroi is the Japanese art form of pottery repair. When a vase or cup breaks, rather than discard the object, the artist glues the parts back together using a special lacquer that is mixed with gold. After the painstaking, time-consuming job is completed, the restored work is more beautiful and often more valuable than the original. Dear
friend, does it feel as though you have broken pieces in your life? Give them to the Lord and allow Him to work. You will be amazed at how He brings beauty from the broken. —Lynn Shatford
I can take, even your greatest mistake,
Every scar, every tear, every break,
And I can turn it into something,
More beautiful than you have ever seen. —Matthew West
