Rest In His Hand

Are you brokenhearted, stressed or weary? Has life been turned upside down, is it in disarray or are you just simply overwhelmed? I recently read an analogy that came to life for me. Imagine a broken tattered teddy bear, it's worn on the edges, frayed, maybe a few tears and even a missing button. BUT GOD, in His warm soft hand, holds that bear and like a seamstress, gently weaves his thread and needle to mend His broken love. He cannot mend what is not broken and He cannot repair without a little pain. Although things may be difficult, it is His warm loving hand that holds us as He gently mends are broken hearts and makes us new again.

Rest in His hand knowing that the gentle mending He is doing can only be done while He holds you. There's no other place you can be.

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds.
