A collage is an artistic composition made of various materials (as paper, cloth, or wood) glued on a surface.
Lets get started…..
I am creating a collage of your lives—a collage from the broken pieces of the difficulties you face, the battles you encounter, even the mistakes you make.
The more breakings I allow you to go through, the more material I have to work with in My design for you.
My dear ones,
The deep difficulties and struggles of daily life are breaking you.
But the more pieces I have to work with, the more I can achieve with you.
The more you are broken in My hands, the more I can fashion you to become the person I created you to be.
This collage is not meant to be just a pretty picture for people to look at, or a pretty design for people to admire— it is meant to be held up to the window of My light.
My light will shine through the stained glass window of your shattered pieces, revealing beautiful colors, enhancing depth, adding light and beauty to the lives of those who walk in your footsteps.
Each trial that besets you is a new color, a new design within the window of your life.
Each difficulty is a new shattered piece that I can use to work with.
If I were to take away these difficulties, there would be holes and big gaps within My design. These difficulties complete My working within you.
You might feel that your lives would be simpler without these struggles.
But then you would also miss out on acquiring that beautiful jewel of experience‚ and others would miss out on the reflection and glow that piece would've brought them.
My experiences were different than yours, but if you'll look up at the window of My life on Earth, you'll see that I carry the same shattered pieces as your stained glass window.
There are many shattered pieces of My life, shattered pieces of hard experiences, of difficulties, of trials, of sufferings, of temptations, of sorrow and tears—which My Father transformed within His hands into a marvelous and breathtaking display of hope‚ courage, faith, and utmost love.
Look up‚ and view the window that displays the story of My life and experiences on Earth. I promise you that there is not one shattered piece within your window that you will not likewise find within Mine.
I know that the glass feels sharp to your hands and the shattered pieces tear at your heart, but give them to Me and I will place them in proper perspective for you.
I will frame them within the perfect will for your life, and there, they will no longer hurt you.
Once these pieces are in My hands and once you learn to look at them the way I see them, then you can be free from the pain you initially felt as you experience the beautiful wonder that this new colored gem adds to your life.
Look up! In looking up, you will see things the way I see them. You will see My light shining through your life, transforming any difficulty or ugliness into a vision of beauty and perfection…
…And let the window of My life be an encouragement to you‚ too.
