Breaking

I never really liked doing smaller pieces too much, but lately I have been really enjoying it. In this little piece, I was thinking about the broken rocks and the solid mountain. A couple of years ago, while in prayer, I saw a mountain that became a jagged path. The rocks on the path were pokey and pointed, but as they were walked on, they became worn down for those who would go after. God makes a way where there is no way. That doesn’t mean it will be an easy way, but a difficult way is better than no way. He can also use our path to make a way for others.

            Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. (2Cor.1:3-5)

There is no comfort like God comfort. He knows exactly what we need and exactly when we need it.

Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing cracks in ceramics with gold, is such a beautiful art. So, the lessons that we learn in the breaking, are like God filling us with gold. We are made more beautiful through the repairing of the break, than we were before.
