Repaired With Gold

"He heals the broken-hearted, and bandages their wounds" - Psalm 147, 3.



I felt like if a piece of my heart was ripped from my chest leaving a big hole on it; like a wrecking ball has swooped in and destroyed all between us... the us that was now becoming just me again. All those long talks about our future together just vanished... I felt the deep and hurtful impact of his words ripping apart what I thought would be permanent. It was not just about losing him... it was about losing connection to all those dreams for tomorrow that now would never be.
My heart was broken and it needed to be repaired. But how? I needed to choose the best method to repair it, a method that not only will heal my heart but also protect it of future rejections as well. I felt pain, and I needed to stop seeing pain as the enemy because the pain was just the indicator that brokenness exists. Numbing the pain never goes to the source of the real issue to make us healthier. Its like trying to fix broken pottery with a bad quality adhesive tape.
There is an old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery -  Kintsugi (or Kintsukuroi, which means "golden repair") - with a special lacquer dusted with powdered gold. This repair method celebrates each artifact's unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. Kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with new life.
Only God can fully repair a broken heart with purest golden Love, the gold He uses will leave your heart even more beautiful and valuable. Nothing is impossible with God, we only need to trust Him, to let Him works giving Him a full access to our heart. "do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God. I give you strength, truly I help you, truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand." - Isaiah 41, 10.
"He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past had gone." - Revelation 21, 4.

Heavenly Father, dry my tears
help me to process the pain I feel in healthy ways. 
Forgive me for trying to get from people a love
that only You can give. 
I trust that You have a perfect plan for me
I just need to stay close to You 
and You will guide me toward Your best. 
I have peace that there is a purpose for this brokenness. 
Protect me from doubts and discouragement
and surround me with Your reassurance and inspiration. 
Make me brave.  
Give me the rest I so desperately need. 
heal my broken heart and fill it with your Love.
Amen.

Be Satisfied

 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart . " - PSalm 37:4. I was single for a long time, I remember how much I struggled at that time, because my soul was not satisfied, something was missing, after years and years of praying, the Lord finally gave me an amazing husband the sweetest and kindest man. But before that happened God helped me to be satisfied, fulfilled and content by being loved only by Him.  Today I found a beautiful prayer by St. Anthony of Padua, and I could not avoid to share it.  "Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, To be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to a Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied, Fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me. With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone. Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to b...

Why Should We Pray?

"O ur fearlessness towards Him consists in this, that if we ask anything in accordance with his will he hears us. And if we know that He listens to whatever we ask Him, we know that we already possess whatever we have asked of Him. " 1 John 5, 14-15. Praying is the way we could communicate with God, and it help us to bring us closer to Him. There is not something better than spend a one-on-one time with the our loved Father, who knows all our secrets and loves us no matter what. " He is close to all who call upon him, all who call on him from heart " - Psalms 145, 18. By praying we could have access to Divine help when we need it most. Every time we experience worries, anxieties and fear we could ask God's help having the certainty that He will always helps us. " Never worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through gratitude, and the peace of god which is beyond our understanding will...

Increase my Thankfulness

"Give thanks in all circumstances; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5, 18. Dear Lord, please increase my thankfulness. Help me to open my heart to You so I could seek You in the midst of my circumstances. Open my eyes to see the signs of Your unseen presence in my life. Allow me to find You in myriad tiny details  as well as in the big picture of my life.  Grant me to notice all my blessings - small and large -  and to always thank You for them.  Thank You so much for Your unfailing Love.  Amen.
