Broken Pieces…
It’s actually a Jewish tradition that the Jesus would be a carpenter. Why a carpenter? A carpenter specializes in putting things together. A carpenter takes pieces of material and out of them forms something beautiful.
If you’re human and living on this planet, chances are you’ve seen parts of your life break apart – dreams, relationships, promises, and hearts. We’ve all experienced missing pieces. Our lives need the hands of a carpenter.
Jesus’s specialty is to take the brokenness and piece it together until your life turns out to be something beautiful. Your part is to let Him have all the pieces. Bring to Him all of your brokenness – your sorrows, losses, frustrations, hurts, and wounds.
Give Him your broken dreams, relationships, promises, and broken hearts – all of it. Put them all into Jesus’s hands. You don’t have to struggle with your life. You can entrust it into His hands because His hands are the hands of a carpenter. He is the Master Carpenter of life.
So, let Him be the Carpenter of your life. That’s when your life will come together and become something beautiful.
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: ‘I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth alone.Β Isaiah 44:24
Today, give the Lord any part of your life or heart that is or has been broken. Trust Him to redeem the broken pieces.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
