Timely

I had some crazy day! Yesterday I had to juggle between class, work and business. Haha. Ofcourse I am exxagerating with thr business thing. I meant baking. One of my friends requested for a cake for her sister’s birthday which I willingly obliged without minding the day. It was on weekday! Tuesday, which means I have to bake the cake on Monday. Monday, which is the busiest day at work, meetings,…

'The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the  Lord . “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! ' Jeremiah 18:1-6

The only answer for your brokenness is to be completely broken before God. Don't fight it! You do not have to be perfect to serve Him. You can always be broken before Him. You can always be broken for Him. 

Most of the time, when we are dealing with brokenness, we just focus on our emotions—we just see ourselves as broken as we are. But really, we should see beyond our brokenness, because brokenness is just a starting line of something bigger. 

Brokenness is an opportunity for God to mend your broken pieces back. 

If God is your Potter, do you really think He will just look at your broken pieces, do nothing, and just leave you there? Our God is the God of reconciliation, revival, and restoration. As the clay is in the potter's hands, so are you in His! 

He will make out of you a beautiful pot because that's the kind of Potter He is—He will always want to make you whole again. 

Same broken pieces. Different pot. 

He will not just make a better version of you. He will make a NEW you! Indeed, the old will be gone, and the new will definitely come. 

Embrace your brokenness, because God will surely make you whole.

A Second Touch - Two Stage Miracle

A Second Touch – Two Stage Miracle

Some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They asked if He would touch him. He took the blind man by the hand out of town. Then He spit on the eyes of the blind man and put His hands on him. He asked, “Do you see anything?” The blind man looked up and said, “I see some men. They look like trees, walking.” Jesus put His hands on the man’s eyes again and told him to look up. Then he was healed and…

...people bond more deeply over shared brokenness than they do over shared beliefs.

You are my darkest corner. You are the part of me that I hate, that I fucking loathe the most. Everything you ever touched turned to darkness that stuck to my finger tips and melted like a wax slowly setting cast on every part of me that people could see. You are my darkest corner. Even when you left, sometimes I still feel the lights flicker. I tell people that you are not my darkest corner and that you did not switch the lights off and that nothing you did has ever hurt me. And yet... You are my darkest corner. I wanted you to be well and be fixed and to be everything you wanted. I wanted you to find the light so I became it. And when I couldn't find my own light, you became... My darkest corner. And when I scrambled and I cried and I told you that I needed you to light a match then you said no. You said that I didn't need it because I had always been your light. But I didn't want to be your light, I just wanted to save you from the dark. And you took, and you took, and the light drained away and I was only a lighthouse with a broken bulb, it still looked the same in daylight but when night fell then everyone was alone. You are my darkest corner. You always will be. Because even if someone else appears and they switch on that light and they fix the thing you broke then there will always be a tiny of me that knows, that remembers, the darkness, the day the light went out. And I know, And you know, That you are my darkest corner. And maybe you are proud. Maybe you are happy. Maybe all you ever wanted was the light so you could walk away. You are my darkest corner.
