Shattered Glass

Smooth and unmarred. That's how we like our lives.
.
If we could choose, most of us would have a history that looks like this ball.
.
Yet, we want our lives to count for something. To make a difference. To leave our mark on the world.
.
It can't be done with a life like this. There's nothing there to catch the light. It may be smooth and unbroken, but it's also dull and makes no impact.
.
God specializes in mosaics. He often takes our smooth life and shatters it. Then with the skill of a Master Craftsman, he pieces us back together just the way he wants us.
.
No mosaic masterpiece is exactly the same. Each is created from hundreds of broken pieces, pressed together to create beauty--just like our lives. Where we were dull and lifeless, God adds color. Where we were smooth, he adds the thinnest ridge, a slight bump that will catch the light in a unique way.
.
The finished product is a life that sparkles. A life filled with vibrant color, intriguing design, and unlike any other. We were designed to reflect His Light. To impact the world. To demonstrate God's creative and restorative abilities.


So your life is filled with mistakes, tragedy, and hurt. You've been broken. Shattered by your circumstances.
.
Good. You're about to become a masterpiece. God specializes in mosaics.
