Broken Glass

Are you broken and shattered like glass?
Is the smile on your face a big farce?
Can others see your damaged cracks,
That opens the door to Satan’s attacks?

Do you have sharp, chipped pieces,
That cut others deep with your offenses?
Is your life splintered and fractured,
In need of your broken bits plastered?

You could go to God for His healing glue,
To stick you back together, like new.
But God’s ways are so different to ours,
To try understand them will take us hours.

God uses our cracked, broken bits,
For it’s in there that His Glory fits.
He shines through our cracks to others,
With His glorious, bright shining colours.

So, don’t hide or discard your brokenness,
For God wants to fill up your emptiness.
Others won’t see where you are cracked,
They’ll see only a life, beautifully intact.

So let God use your shattered life,
Cracked and broken by hurts and strife.
To shine and be used by God’s grace,
Sharing the healing love of His embrace.
