Broken & bound into beautifully blessed.

We are all broken. That is how the light gets in.
The best way to heal a broken heart is to give all the broken pieces to Him. Don't keep cutting yourself on something you cant put back together. That is what our Master is for. If you're broken and hurting and the task master of this world has whipped you, till you are bleeding and screaming and feel as if you can't go on. You can. You must. There is another way.. HIS NAME IS JESUS!! I am a living breathing testimony of how God takes broken and makes it beautiful. He takes that pain and uses it for His beautiful glory!! This isn't a vain beauty. This is a beauty that starts on the inside and it radiates on the outside. It binds up the wounds of the broken hearted. It gives you love, joy, a peace that you can't explain, unless you've had the Holy Ghost, and you have experienced that peace beyond all understanding. That peace that sustains you even in the darkest storms of your life. It don't make sense to people how you are even holding it together. That is the kind of peace Jesus gives!! I'm not saying that you won't hurt after you get the Holy Ghost and give your whole life and will to Him. I'm saying that we can run right back to Jesus He heals and He's right there to wrap us in His loving arms and hug. Broken things become blessed things when we let God do the mending!
Psalms 55:22 - Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Isaiah 61:1-3,7,9-11 KJV
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Broken, shattered,shamed, and bound by sin,
to beautifully blessed and Heaven bound that crown I'll win!
The jagged pieces of me,
this wicked world has broke in me,
they continue to cut me.
The weight of my sins was sinking me,
I almost drowned, but Jesus saved me.
This loving & forgiving heart has been broken for trusting & loving too many wrong men.
This girl has been shattered by my toxic addictions, and O so so much sin.
This name has been shamed for all of the worldy & ungodly things I've did. My master, I served in this world, was a harsh task master.
Broken and shamed full of regret, head hanging low, my life a wreck and a disaster!!
This soul of mine, so weary from the weight of every sin, and all of the shame.
Broken, crying, empty with all of my pieces, my life without Jesus was nothing but pain.
But Jesus
I ran to Jesus, with all these shattered, jagged pieces of my broken heart & life.
The weight of my shame, and all the earthly pleasures, which brought so much pain & strife
"I don't want them" I said, with tears pouring down my face.
"I want to live again, I want to breathe again, I need your saving grace!"
"I give every single one of them all to you,"
for its in my Master's nail scarred hands, the only place the broken is made new.
My hands lifted high in surrender, up to the one who loves me more than anything!
My Savior, My Jesus, My King, He's my everything!
As I surrendered my will, to the will of my Creator, who fearfully & wonderfully formed me.
The Holy Ghost begins to fill all the cracks, and the broken pieces begin coming together, beautifully.
As God's love pours into every hurt and broken piece of my bruised and tattered heart, and my weary soul, broken becomes beautiful, as He gives me back everything the enemy stole.
I'm on my way to Heaven now,
shouting and singing, trusting and knowing .....
I'm glory bound!!

Psalm 147:3 KJV
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Isaiah 61
[2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
[3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
During the times of grief or mourning the jews would put on sackcloth (a course fabric of flax, cotton, hemp, or goat!/camel hair) and spread dust or ashes over their heads. Conversely, "the garments of praise" and anointing oil poured over the head demonstrated great joy!
[7] For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. [9] And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. [10] I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. [11] For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Matthew 11:28-29 KJV
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
• A yoke is a wooden harness for Oxen. The words "labour... Heavy laden" focus on how rabbinic teachings had added to the law until it became a repressive yoke upon the people (see Gal 5:1) in contrast the gospel of Jesus brings supernatural peace and rest.
Let Jesus make your broken beautiful,
He's the only one who can!
