Saving The Broken Pieces.

With the days that we are living in now, the enemy of hell is trying his hardest to discourage God's people from being all that God wishes for them to be. I encourage you saints, in this fight of faith and not to give up because of their imperfections, but rather to stay strong in Him and continue to let God lead the way.

 

Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Every time we feel discouraged and feel like giving up on this life because of the trouble that we sometimes face, we are to come to the Lord and ask for His comfort and strength so that we may gain encouragement to continue in our fight of faith.  Remind yourself that He is your comforter and helper and in God alone there is peace and fullness of Joy.

 

Today’s message shows how God is always able to use us even though we may seem imperfect and unusable in other people's eyes.

At the Royal Palace of Tehran in Iran, you can see one of the most beautiful mosaic works in the world.  The ceilings and walls flash like diamonds with multifaceted reflections.  

 

Originally, when the palace was designed, the architect specified huge sheets of mirrors on the walls. When the first shipment arrived from Paris, they found to their horror that the mirrors were shattered.  The contractor threw them in the trash and brought the sad news to the architect.

 

Amazingly, the architect ordered all of the broken pieces collected, then smashed them into tiny pieces and glued them to the walls to become a mosaic of silvery, shimmering, mirrored bits of glass.

 

Broken to become beautiful! It's possible to turn your scars into stars. It's possible to be better because of the brokenness. It is extremely rare to find in the great museums of the world objects of antiquity that are unbroken.  Indeed, some of the most precious pieces in the world are only fragments that remain a hallowed reminder of a glorious past.

 

Never underestimate God's power to repair and restore.

Encourage yourself today in the Lord and know that through God Almighty you can be made into a masterpiece even if you do not believe it's possible. God is in the restoration business and He is able to take the brokenness that we sometimes feel and turn it into a glorious work of art.

 

God holds you as the apple of His eye and has made you different from every other person in the world.  The Bible says that He knew you even while you were in your mother's womb.  God knows every facet of your life and wishes to do great things through you, if only you submit to His will. The Lord's prayer declares in Matthew 6:9-10 "...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

 

Let us surrender our own will and ask that God's will be done through our lives.  God will do great things through us once we are surrendered to have His will fulfilled in our lives.

 

Isaiah 64:8 “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”

 

Blessed Day!
