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

Forever Alone?

" Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you future and hope. " - Jeremiah 29, 11. Being single is something that could be hard I know that pretty well, because I have been single almost my entire life, during my early years I never felt concern about me being single, I spent my life mostly learning and sharing my life with my family and friends, and I was really happy. But as time goes by, seen loving relationships around sooner or later makes you ask, when will be my turn? This long waiting makes me feel sad sometimes, I know that allow that my thoughts makes me felt ashamed of being single is not good I remember a book I read last year: Beautiful Uncertainty by Mandy Hale . Specially the chapter " God's Heart for Single Women " made me realize that I shouldn't feel sad or ashamed, being single now is God's will. God wants that I wait a little more, and as Mandy

Prayer Replaces Worry

"N ever worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through with gratitude, and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. " - Philippians 4:6-7 I have been an over-thinker almost all my life, I think too much and thinking to much often leads me to being worried. And worry is damaging, it consumes our mind it divides our attention, it decreases our productivity and it actually negatively impacts our health. If you are an over-thinker like me, prayer is the most helpful thing you can do. Over thinking can be detrimental to our performance, and lead to anxiety and depression. During the times I struggle the most a beautiful, a friend shared with me a beautiful Novena of Surrender to the Will of God that I would like to share with you today.
