Broken But Restored
Its sometimes the sadness in our eyes,
Perhaps also the tears when we cry,
When caught up in our own train of thought,
Going to God with our cares is our last resort,
He then breaks us from within,
Make us go on our knees and pray for His divine peace to come in,
And calm the raging storm in our heart and mind,
As nothing can be undone with just a rewind,
Because it’s hard to forgive and forget all on your own,
It’s hard to have the love of Christ forever shown,
When you feel you are beaten and forlorn,
It’s hard to cherish all that Christ for you has borne,
Yet He comes in search of me, To restore the broken me.

Kintsugi (“Golden Joinery”)
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
“Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated.” – Christy Bartlett (Flickwerk: The Aesthetics of Mended Japanese Ceramics)
