I thought that this was a pretty unique picture. How often do you see broken pottery as art. But not only is the pottery broken but it is all broken in the exact same spot.
This got me thinking that we are all broken in life but not all broken in the same place. You hurt, pain and experiences you have had are not the same as mine. While I may be able to sympathize, I will truly never understand your brokenness. The interesting thing about brokenness is that it allows the weak areas of our lives to be influenced by the power of the almighty. The Bible tells us that “when we are weak that He is strong.” Unless there is something that is broken in your life, then the Lord cannot show himself strong.
A lot of times we try to hide our brokenness. We see it as a flaw or weakness. Really our brokenness is a piece of art, unique in its own way. Nobody likes to be broken, but unless we are broken God cannot mend together the pieces of our life to make us the masterpiece He intended us to be.
How are you broken? Or maybe a better question is “What needs to be broken in your life so God can make a masterpiece out of it?”
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
