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)

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...

The Trials of Life

Some trials are of the enemy, some self-inflicted (I've had many of these); no matter the avenue the destination of the enemy is always the same….destruction. The important thing to remember during the trials of life is that God knows exactly where we are and has allowed it all to happen. His plan is to prosper us, so no matter where we are it will all work together for our good. All the tough times we have been through, though they hurt they made us stronger = better. When we take that and acknowledge that God is in control we know that it is only by the grace of God that some of us did not end up as the star of a "Snapped", "Cops", "Iyanla fix my life" or a "Murder in the Family" episode. It takes a lot of strength and not strength of our own, but strength that God has placed in us to go through life and actually be in Gods will. This means doing the right thing, even when someone else isn't. The journey with God is not perfect...

Life in His Garden

Life in His Garden Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. [I Cor. 15:45-49.] And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden [delight]; and there He put the man whom He had formed (framed, constituted). And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired–good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of [the difference between] good and evil and blessing and calamity. [Rev. 2:7; 22:14, 19.] And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. (Genesis 2:7-9...
