Ever seen the colorful jars that seem to be made by many broken pieces? It looks almost as if someone created a perfect jar, smashed it, then picked up all the pieces and glued them back together. Somehow, after the pieces have been glued together, the jar is so much more beautiful and elegant than ever before.
Sometimes, we get so broken and hurt by things in this world. Our hearts seem crushed beyond repair, and we don't know how to repair it. Anytime we try to pick up the shards, we just get cut and hurt more by them. Psalms 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." No matter how broken beyond repair you may seem, God is close to you. He'll pick up those broken pieces in your life and repair them. And, though it may not seem like it at the time, He can make something even more beautiful than before out of the broken pieces.
