beautifully broken me: Cracked Pots...

Cracked Pots...

I recently read a quote by Leonard Cohen:

"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."

I would also offer this:

By allowing the light in, you cannot contain it.

Because of the cracks, you become a light for others.

Just some food for thought...

I have a theory: all people have had their hearts broken by actions of others as well as choices they have made themselves. By learning from those situations and being able to work through them and come out of them, we grow our character. By picking up the pieces of a broken life and putting them back together, a person cannot help but be changed. This change is a beautiful thing that results in a deeper understanding of others and their situations, and gives us a chance to share our experiences with them, showing them that there is a way out - a light at the end of the tunnel. I believe that I have been not just broken, but put back together by God in a beautiful way - a way that I never could have imagined on my own - and I wanted to share that sense of hope and peace with whoever happens to read this blog. So there it is...
