Never knew there was beauty to be had in the brokenness of a wounded soul. But there is. With God there is. With the love and absolute faithfulness of Christ the King there is beauty to be had in the brokenhearted.
When I chose to believe in and follow Christ ten years ago I never knew what my walk with Him would look like, feel like. Guess I thought life would be better, that I wouldn't hurt so badly anymore, that He would protect me from any harm and suffering. But if I had payed attention to Paul's epistles I would've seen that suffering would surely accompany me on my journey of faith. And this is exactly what I've endured...suffering, brokenness, an open, wounded, aching heart.
Did God let me down, has He forgotten me? Absolutely not. In fact I'm learning, here in the valley of Trouble, He is right here with me, walking this walk, holding my hand and loving me like never before.
So there is Beauty in the Broken. Christ is the Beautiful Face shining forth out of my oh so broken life. I am broken for Him, my suffering is for the sake of His saints.
I cry out "I am my Beloved's and He is mine." Shine forth O Light of the World!
