BROKEN

Broken lives, shattered hearts, people
Hurting torn apart, through myriads of
Difficult things...sorrow that life brings;
Anguish, heartaches, and misery's grief

Over loss of friendship, loss of love, loss
Of mind and abilities, loss of a child or loss
Of a spouse, or maybe the bank reclaimed
Your house, whatever the reason for your

Anguish and grief, it finds ultimate relief
In the Master's plan, designed for you by his
Loving hand; the original blueprint of God's
Love...an amazing victory of the Son's life

From above, Messiah and KING, he's the one
Who is LORD over everything!

We're like broken pottery until Jesus comes into our lives and makes us brand new. He then fills us with himself, like a beautiful flower planted in the pot, filling it with blooms, color, and his own essence. From brokenness to wholeness...in him we are healed and given newness of life. We're now a vessel for him to use as he sees fit, and always with victory in mind for the end result. -- Cheryl
