Broken Pieces And The Carpenter

Thursday, July 12, 2018

It's actually a Jewish tradition that the Messiah would be a carpenter. Why a carpenter? A carpenter specializes in putting things together. A carpenter takes pieces of material and out of them forms something beautiful. If you're human and living on this planet, chances are you've seen parts of your life break apart - dreams, relationships, promises, and hearts. We've all experienced missing pieces. Our lives need the hands of a carpenter. Messiah's specialty is to take the brokenness and piece it together until your life turns out to be something beautiful. Your part is to let Him have all the pieces. Bring to Him all of your brokenness - your sorrows, losses, frustrations, hurts, and wounds. Give Him your broken dreams, relationships, promises, and broken hearts - all of it. Put them all into Messiah's hands. You don't have to struggle with your life. You can entrust it into His hands because His hands are the hands of a carpenter. He is the Master Carpenter of life. So, let Him be the Carpenter of your life. That's when your life will come together and become something beautiful.
