A True Work of Art

I redeemed my children from Egypt. I released them from slavery. I led them through a wilderness, teaching them along the way to take care of themselves and to trust in me.  I did many miracles for them and in front of their very eyes. Do you not remember your slavery? You once were conscious of the release I had granted you. You were once looking to me for instruction on how to live, and were grateful for all that I was doing in your life. I know you’ve been knocked down constantly these last 20 years. But, I am here, still willing and able to do the same miracles in your life as before. Stop trying to insulate yourself from pain. Stop trying to decide what I want you to do. Stop believing that your life is worthless, that it’s over, that you have no purpose, that I am done with you. Stop it all. I am still here. I am still able. I am still willing. Open your heart. Let me back in fully. Stop trying to protect it. It has been shattered over and over. But, as when the Japanese fix pottery with gold, your heart has been pieced back together over and over and it is now a true work of art.
