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.

When Your World is Turned Upside Down

"None of the trials which have come upon you is more than a human can stand" -1 Corinthians 10, 13a Sometimes all what we thought would be permanent just vanish, suddenly we find out that our "perfect world" is turned upside down. I was recently experienced one of that moments and then I received a text from an old best friend: "You can trust that God will not let you be put to the test beyond your strength, but with any trial will also provide a way out by enabling you to put up with it"- 1 Corinthians 10, 13b.  Maybe my friend did not even know how much I needed that words, I just think that it was God who actually sent that message as a reminder to keep trusting Him, I was experiencing a lot of pain and sadness the last days because almost my entire life was turned upside down and that morning I felt overwhelmed and then just two words bring me the peace I so desperately need: TRUST GOD.  Dear God,  I don't have to fully understand...

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.

God Works While We Wait

"W ait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord. " - Psalm 27, 14 Being honest, we all hate to wait. That is because most of us consider waiting like wasting time. But it's not so with our God, we just need to remember that good things are worth waiting and God only wants good things for us: " If you, then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! " - Matthew 7, 11. God uses waiting to change us, He wants us to learn how to follow Him and put down all our doubts, worries and fear. While we wait we need to relinquish the control to Him in order to experience His love and peace, and remember that even when we are unable to see what He is doing, God is always working on the events to accomplish His purposes for our lives. We only need to trust in His unfailing love for us, knowing that waiting is never wasted when we...
