Have you ever felt hopeless in your life?
A situation where you have no hopes for tomorrow.
Have you felt like no one cares anymore about you?
Are you putting on a fake smile in order to hide your pain from others or trying to convince others that you are alright?
I believe that some of you are going through such situations or have already experienced them. But will you believe if I say that there is a blessing for being broken?
Through this post, I would like to remind you of how you are blessed even if you are broken. And before that I would like you to read the following story:
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go look at a pear tree that was at a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no – it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer and fulfilment of your fall. Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
If you study the life of each person in the Bible God has called out, you will find that each of them went through a time of brokenness or a time of struggle before God has blessed them. So whatever God has blessed always went through a brokenness before it turns out to be a blessing. So be patient and never give up.
And please remember this, Sometimes God will
let us go through hard times not because He is not capable of keeping us away from it but because we should be a help and guide to those who go through similar situations. One of the biggest examples for this can be seen in the Book of John, Chapter 6(Verse 1-10) in the Bible. By reading these verse 1-10, we can find that Jesus feeds five thousand people with five loaves and 2 fish. In Luke 9:16(Contemporary English Version) it’s been written like this, “Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and fish and handed them to his disciples to give to the people.”
So that is why I have said that there is a beauty in the brokenness. But know that, before we turn out to be a blessing we should always trust God, submit ourselves to Him and then without grumbling, wait for God’s time to see His mighty deliverance. And one of the specialities of God is that He can do wonders remarkably even if we think the situation has its limitations. So no matter what we are going through, our God can make everything work together for our good.
Remember- Both blessing and trouble come in your life only if God permits.
Yes, we are safe in His hands.
