No super glue Please.

Do you ever feel like a piece of china?
A fragile dish.
And thru the trials and tribulations you get chipped, cracked and broken.
And then one day you just fall apart.
The one thing about China is . When you break
You don’t just break in a couple pieces.
You shatter.
How do you get all those pieces back together again?
Back in the ‘old days’ they would take a broken piece of china or
Vases and coat the inside with wax.
And you could only see the cracks and breaks if you held the piece up to the light.
That is why some places in scripture they talk about
authentic things and in the Greek it means .. without wax.
True. Noble. Right.
Maybe it is God’s plan.
Maybe being so broken, So shattered that only
God can put you back together.
That when we try to put ourselves back together and we get held up to the light..
Our cracks are seen. And we fall apart again and again.
And only in our complete brokenness.
When there is no hope of putting ourselves back together.
That is the time we finally let God do the repair job.
And HIS repair job is perfection.
Taking our ashes and turning them to beauty.
Oh that reminds me of a song.
Forgiveness to a crown.

So when we lay it all down. Admit that we are so broken. That only God can put us back together. Then and only then can we be healed. Truly healed. With out wax.
No crack, no crevasses for anyone to break. Or dirt to get into.
Perfect. Clean. Whole.

I always want to be a piece of china. I don’t ever want to be a cast iron skillet.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Spiritual Correlation in every day living

I remember what my mom told me. When you have to clean your room and it is a total disaster. Start in the corner and work your way out. ...
