Broken Pieces

Promise of the Day:
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
(Psalm 147:3)

Prayer:
Yes, Lord, You are the master of fixing broken things. All I had to offer You was my filthiness, my rags, my broken pieces, but You took all of these and made something beautiful. I know I am beautiful because You dwell within me, and You have given me my "Father's eyes." I am a new creation, a new vessel.
Our life is full of brokenness. . . .
How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful
Except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives?
(Henri Nouwen)
Thank You, Lord, for giving me a new beginning. Amen
