Every Broken Heart...

 

Someone once said that for every scar there is a story of survival. And they were right. The stories written on scars are never pretty, they can be heartbreaking, incredibly hard to read and even harder to tell. But along the lines of every scar there is a story of survival, a story of grace, a story of overcoming, a story of hope and of life. Many people never tell their stories, for reasons most us are unable to comprehend. But for those few who let their heartbreak stories be told, they often find that in the telling, in the sharing of their story there is healing. Healing not only for themselves but for those with whom they share.

It has often been said that the most powerful ministry is simply sharing two story's, your story and the story of the one that saved you. Is it possible that the story of us at our weakest is the story of Him at his best? Is it possible that our worst scars can showcase His healing? Is it possible that every broken heart is a glowing light? Is it possible that through honesty, through sharing our scar written stories we can find our purpose, our greatest ministry, a journey of peace and healing not only for ourselves but also to those who are now where we once were?

"But every broken heart is a glowing light
He will find it out in the darkness
Every lonely song is a brilliant sound
He will hear it out from a distance"
