Like a ray of sunshine on a dark, cloudy day, you came into my life, and I welcomed you with open arms. For my life was empty, and though I tried, I could find no reason to go on.
I was like a fragile glass that was broken into a million tiny pieces...I seemed beyond repair.
But in your tender mercy, You gently gathered me up, enclosed me in your arms, and gave me a reason to live.
Your love, like cement, held me together; and when it looked like I would come apart again, you wrapped me closer in your love.
Sometimes my steps were shaky, but your constant hold on my hand kept me secure. I could feel your strength being poured into my very being. You gave me confidence, and I knew I could make it.
Since that day, I've stumbled many times. I've been discouraged, but never without hope; I've been weak, but never without determination.
I know your love will sustain me, in this I am confident. I will never come unglued from your love.

So, so beautiful is the testimony of one who's been broken. What glory is given to the One who makes us whole!!! I truly, being made whole from such complete brokenness, have been witnessed to in such a wonderful way through you... THANK YOU. What joy to know that the Lord is so gracious and merciful that He will not leave us in such a state, but that He has a divine purpose for us... even for our being shattered.
