I had to share this with you written by Magi G. It’s a reminder that God is still recreating us! This really ministered to me.

You Make All Things New 🔥🙌

There is beauty in the broken.

Do you know what Kintsugi is?
It is a Japanese art that repairs broken pottery with gold, rendering a new piece that is more exquisite than it was before the break. It literally means to join with gold.

“The story of kintsugi—this style of pottery—may be the most perfect embodiment of all our trauma-shattered lives… Instead of throwing away the broken beloved pottery, we’ll fix it in a way that doesn’t pretend it hasn’t been broken but honors the breaking—and more so, the surviving—by highlighting those repaired seams with gold lacquer. Now the object is functional once again and dignified, not discarded. It’s stronger and even more valuable because of its reinforced, golden scars.”

Rather than trying to hide the damage, kintsugi highlights the repair. The imperfections are what make it beautiful and valuable. A broken piece that is put back together has more of a story, seems more authentic and real, is stronger and more resilient than something that has stayed pristine. The breaking of what once was, the layered and time-consuming process of putting it back together, the mending with gold, all contribute to its value. And surprisingly, it becomes more resilient after it has been mended by kintsugi, even stronger than it was before.

God is the restorer, the Kintsugi Master who skillfully and tenderly puts the broken pieces of our lives back together. And it takes time. Like many of you, I overcame a lot of brokenness, hurt and pain in my life, but over time the Lord has incredibly restored favor, joy and peace. The process was very long but all along He was working even when I didn’t see it.

The Art Piece in this video represents just that, a shattered blue vessel that has been masterfully repaired and restored and is now even more unique and beautiful than before, with its elegant beautiful Gold layers. Now it is a one of a kind – a new and improved more beautiful piece of art. Representing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

This song talks about how Adonai the God and King of the Universe makes ALL THINGS NEW, and is the creator of all.

He can restore you. He can renew your joy, renew your peace, and renew your faith.
He can help you be strong and help you carry on, because all brokenness can be mended and used for beauty through the power of The Holy Spirit and through the unique healing process of The Lord.

I pray this over you as well.

Blessings,

Magi G.
