Broken Pieces

Picking up the broken pieces, slowly and carefully. It's painful to know that you broke something and you want to fix what you broke, but you can't. It's not possible. You can't pick up glass that you broke and have it be what it once was.

What you have to do is carefully gather the pieces, big and small, and put them in a place so that they can be recycled.

God can recycle our broken pieces. He can melt down what we broke and make it into something new and beautiful.


I am a DO person, and I want to take the pieces and put them back togethermyself, but as my roommates have remeinded me, I can't. This is not a fun puzzle where things are made to fit together. This is not something to be conquered. This is something that I need to give to the Great Recycler and trust that He can make what I have broke into something new and beautiful.


"It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands"
-Matthew West
