Broken to Become Whole



Broken to Become Whole
My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise. (Psalm 51:17 AMP)

I was broken shattered into a million pieces that you carefully picked up and dusted off.
You didn't superglue me back together, because You offer something better than what I was.
Created in Your likeness, yet I still have to accept Your son to be righteous.
I was broken, broken before you in the tears that tell the story of my shame mixed with a bit of fear & a whole lot of pain.
In the midst of my tears I reflect on the years I said yes, but demonstrated no.
Stayed busy putting on a show for myself & others; never knowing how to truly surrender; because I always saw the splinter in the eye of another yet never realized that the log in my own was a force to be reckoned with.
Sin it's the enemies trick for us to blend in.
Even knowing we were made to be set apart, which explains the constant longing in my heart for more.

And then.....there was a shift
A shift that made the shattered pieces new
New form, new color, new texture & a brightness that surpassed the luster of the container; because the one who is greater now lives on the inside too, it is His light that shines through in a Radiantly Transparent hue
Only because of His grace have I been lead to pursue His purpose and will
Less of me and more of You is my desire
What's within is a candle that burns more like a raging fire
Not for perfection, but for Your perfecting touch even if for others its seems to be a bit much
Once broken never to be the same, a new treasure full of love and no shame when I witness and glorify God’s name.

Sincerely Yours,
Broken to Become Whole…..
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, you took a risk of faith, and now you’re healed and whole. Live well, live blessed! (Mark 5:34 MSG)

Much Will Be Required

Much Will Be Required Growing up many of us began to discover our gifts, for some it took a little longer to recognize their abilities as gifts. As we mature into adulthood many of us bury the gifts or continue to look at uncultivated gifts as useless.  We hold on to these things in ability, yet we relinquish the call to use them. For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] (Romans 11:29 AMP) Romans 11:29 tells us that God's gift and call are irrevocable. Gifts are things we must choose to receive.  We can choose to use them or not use them, but they will still be there in/with us. If you can sing at an early age and decide not to use your voice to glorify Him, He won't take your ability away because of His word.  Whether we stray or stay on the path it is still ours. The major question for all who are a...

Hiding Amongst the Baggage

“Samuel went back to GOD: “Is he anywhere around?” GOD said, “Yes, he’s right over there—hidden in that pile of baggage.” They ran and got him. He took his place before everyone, standing tall—head and shoulders above them. Samuel then addressed the people, “Take a good look at whom GOD has chosen: the best! No one like him in the whole country!” Then a great shout went up from the people: “Long live the king!”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭10:22-24‬ ‭MSG‬‬  There comes a time in life when the King or Queen in you can no longer be hidden. In 1 Samuel 9 Saul thought he was just going to look for his families lost sheep. As he was looking for the lost possessions of his family, he found the lost identity of himself.  Along the journey of life we find ourselves as we find Christ. In you is a great king or queen and you had no clue. There is a greatness in each of us that is hidden until life circumstances pulls it out of us. Many of us have come across great people who see thi...
