There's still color in broken colors

Image
When things are broken, God never gives up. He begins with ruins, chaos, and brings forth beauty from ashes.  Ruined things are my defeat, but God's beginning.  It's not hopeless what you're going through, it's just an opportunity for God to show off who He is through his power-driven fingers.  If you wait on Him, your mess becomes a miracle. Calvary is our example. Shattered lives become breathtaking ornaments of beauty. This is our God.  God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, and broken bread to give strength. – Vance Havner Our brokenness is not proof that God could not or would not love us, but proof that what we need is the God who both created us and loves us. A Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art form that involves putting broken pieces back together using gold or another precious metal.

  Fear is a very powerful negative force. The Bible tells us that the devil uses fear to control all men and put them into bondage (Hebrews 2:14, 15). Fear can come through wrong beliefs; it could be superstitious beliefs, wrong cultural beliefs, traditional beliefs, societal beliefs or even beliefs instilled upon people through wrong teaching. Fear can also come because of the unknown. One could ask ‘if fear arises out of wrong beliefs’ then where does the fear of the unknown come from, since no one has taught anything about the unknown? Fear of the unknown is possible only because of the presence of fear in one self.  One could ask ‘if fear arises out of wrong beliefs’ then where does the fear of the unknown come from, since no one has taught anything about the unknown? Fear of the unknown is possible only because of the presence of fear in one self. In an atmosphere of the unknown the worst fears no matter how little, if present in oneself, become reflected back from the m...
