Hey girls
I am a broken vase, lying in front of God, broken by sin and imperfection
Have you ever broken a vase which you just adored? It breaks one’s heart to see it shattered on the floor, unable to restore it to it’s perfect, unbroken state.
I am a broken vase, lying in front of God, broken by sin and imperfection. God’s heart is filled with unconditional love, not looking at my brokenness with the same regret I would’ve had for a broken earthly vase, but with hope. Of course His heart aches for my brokenness, but because He is in control, He knows that He can fix me.
His hands brushes over my shards and slowly He puts it back together in order for a fuller, unbroken vase to be formed. With time and His skillful Potter’s hands, He covers the scars as well (Is. 64:8).
I haven’t really thought about the real meaning of restoration in this journey.
Restoration is a word that I’ve used frequently in my blog-posts during the overeating journey. However, I haven’t really thought about the real meaning of restoration in this specific journey.
Restoration means returning something that has been broken to the former, unbroken state.
My former state wasn’t to be a glutton or to depend on food as an idol. The state I’ve been created to flourish in, was to worship God with my every deed, word and thought. That is the state we were all created in before the fall of mankind.
Everyday, a new shard is put into place, glued back with grace and love. Everyday, I’m restored more to my former state. Everyday, I’m able to carry more of His overflowing abundance and character within my heart.
I am still confident that God who has started His good work within me, will carry on to completion until the day of Jesus (Phil. 1:6).
Lots of Love
Inge xx
