As I\u2019m writing this, I am wondering about the broken pieces that we have in our lives. The things that caused us harm. Caused us heartache. Maybe some things that you brought on yourself. Maybe some things that someone brought on to you unexpectedly. Or maybe, just maybe, you were the one who caused others to have broken pieces. Maybe you did so without even knowing that you did. Or maybe, you did so knowing what you were doing. No matter what circumstance or situation you fall into, we all have dealt with broken pieces. Either in our lives or in the lives of others that we know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we\u2019re thinking about this, let\u2019s also remember that no matter what it is that is broken, God can mend it. No matter what it is that has caused us harm, God can mend it. No matter what it is that has caused us heartache, God can mend it. Broken relationships. Broken spirit. Broken whatever. God can mend all of them. I am a firm believer in this. I have seen it. I have seen it in my life. In the lives of those around me. I have witnessed it firsthand. And I bet many of you have as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing that we must keep in mind is that this does not mean that we are going to avoid pain. I\u2019m not talking about physical pain. I am talking about the kind of pain that we feel internally. God mending these for us does not necessarily take away the pain. And I think that is because we can grow stronger through those moments. A veteran that I know sent me a video. In the video there was a voice that said he prayed for strength. And that God gave him difficulties to make him strong. And I think that\u2019s an example of God mending the situation. Placing in his life a difficulty for him to go through. I\u2019m sure it was very hard for him to go through it. Possibly causing him pain. But what\u2019s awesome is that even though God gave him a difficulty, he never left his side. He was there the entire time, leading him through it. And the end result\u2026the guy came out stronger. So today, be encouraged knowing that God can pull you through any difficult season that you\u2019re going through. But you must seek him and let him take control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
