Christian Woman - Some Assembly Required

One of my favorite scriptures is John 6:12. In the scene, Jesus fed multitudes and everyone was satisfied. Then He said: “Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost?”

I’m so glad Jesus cares about “pieces”, because life can surely cause some spiritual fractures. Sadly, too many Godsy Girls walk around in “pieces” while trying to be good wives, mothers, girlfriends, sisters and ministry leaders. But the spiritual brokenness has crippled them emotionally and spiritually. They may become judgmental, critical, bitter, mean and uncompassionate – all because they are broken into “pieces” on the inside. This type of brokenness Jesus “sees” because He notices the fragments. He wants to heal and bring wholeness so that nothing is lost in your life. He wants to use it all for His glory.

The Pieces Become Something Beautiful

Imagine for a moment you purchased a set of shelves for your home. You carry in that long, skinny box and wonder how in the world those pieces will morph into the display at the store. Nevertheless, you open it and eagerly begin the process of assembly.

What’s the first thing you search for after you open the box? Yes- the instructions!
The instructions are the only logical way to create the item you saw displayed at the store.

The same goes for us. God created us has carefully ordered our steps and pathway toward redemption. The only way we can get “whole” is by reading His Word. It’s our own divine set of “instructions” that “assembles” into the image of Christ. Just like the display in the store, we want to develop to be like our Lord. We want to walk even as He walked – whole, healed and forgiving.

But How?

The only way to be healed from the brokenness is to be deep-rooted and regularly changed by our instruction manual for life and healing. Only then will the “pieces” be assembled to create the woman of God you are destined to become.

Read His Word every day – even when you don’t feel like it. Treat almost it like your spiritual ‘prescription’ for wholeness. Then watch Him use your broken pieces as a powerful testimony of His greatness!

Note: God brings healing in a myriad of ways. Sometimes, it’s supernatural. Other times, He uses professionals, medication and scientific methods. Regardless of how He chooses to heal, trust Him and His path for your life.
