Broken but not Forgotten.....

I remember as a child… looking through the window

And there was a bird in the front yard,

And I ran outside to have a closer look before he could fly,

But strangely my footsteps did not startle it,

And it did not try to get away either,

So I picked it up with such joy because it was not
an every ...day privilege to hold a bird in the palm of your hand,

Usually it would instinctively fly away….

And as I looked closer, I noticed that one of its wing was broken,

And I pat it gently and put it back on the ground…

And I observed it for a while, it was detached from all the other birds,
who was flying in the blue sky in a V shape…

It could not fly, it could not soar as high as he used to….


It was just a childhood memory ….

But as I grow older and observe the scenery of what is going on around us….

I come to think that there are a lot of people just like that little bird,

They are hurting because life did not turn out the way they expected…

Maybe because a relationship did not work out,

And the person who promised them on the altar to stick with them “For better or for worse”, walked away and never looked back,

Maybe because someone hurt them in the past,

And they don’t have the strength to forgive,

And they carry that bitterness around,

And that feeling is so heavy in their heart that they can’t fly,
they can’t move on with their lives…

or maybe because they believe the lies of the enemy,

And just like that little bird, they live below their full potential,

Or maybe because they experienced a lost

and life does not have any meaning anymore….

But did you know that in spite of whatever you may have gone through,

It is not over... God has purpose for your life,

It is not too late to reach for the stars,

It is not too late to be all that He created you to be,

It is in you, it is time to reach from within and rise above it all…

It is time to take His hands and get back up again,

It is time to say… Lord I can’t do it on my own….
Come to my rescue….

He can dry the tears away,

He can repair that broken heart and place forgiveness in the inside of you

so you can live again, dream again, hope again….

He can repair that broken wing and heal that wound so you can …. SOAR…..

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous.Isaiah 41:10

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

God bless!!!
