The Beauty in Brokenness

There is this brokenness that cuts at the deepest part of your soul.  Do you know the kind? 

Its deafening. 

Its like what it would feel like if someone broke your back against their knee. 

Breathless, horror, sorrow, pain, suffering, broken.

This is what my heart absorbed over the last couple of months.  From the ones who were supposed to love me.  Who were supposed to be my shelter from pain.  There is no other pain like this that I have experienced. 

The sorrow deep in my soul from the feeling of the “crack”.  

But through the weakest and most vulnerable days I felt this pain at its finest.  I cried for the loss of what I thought was there but wasn’t.  I grieved for the relationships I thought were real but weren’t.  I said goodbye to that story. 

I said farewell to the promise of something that was never for me.  

Then I remembered that

God is the promise of hope and love that my heart needed.

 Not only now to heal and feel safe but always. 

My armor. 

My shield. 

My strength. 

All comes from HIM. 

No one and nothing in this living world can come close to the true humanity that He alone can give me.  That kind of peace that you might feel when you walk up to an open field with the sunlight shining in the morning sunrise on wet grass with freshness in the air circulating in your lungs. 

That peace.

There is a beautiful thing about being broken.  Yes there is.  It is there in that very moment that you will be able to see the cracks for what they are and be able to start the release. 

Release the pain, the sadness, the crumbling of the old truth. 

And to start relying on the only Truth. 

The beauty of truth.

Think about that for one minute.  The beauty of truth.  The real.  The story that was in your heart the day you were born.  You were meant to be broken.  You were meant to grow into this person who is healing and learning and finding this beautiful process a part of your purpose in this world.  

I am peace.  I am morning sunlight.  I am dew drops.  I am air.  I am who He made me to be in this very moment.  I am broken at this very moment healing in His timing so that I can shed this time and share it with you.  Take heed my friends...at your lowest look up.  At your most sorrowful moment look up.  Every darkness has a crack.

The beauty in the broken. 

Let the light shine.
