Sea glass mosaic

When I was in Gisborne over the summer
I collected lots of sea glass off the beach.

I reflected on Colossians 1
where it says that God will take
all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe
and fit them together in vibrant harmonies.

Perhaps God will fit them together
in something new and mosaical
rather than simply using superglue
to stick all back together as it was.


(verse from The Message follows)

Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe--people and things, animals and atoms--get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross.

Love your thoughts. My husband and I facilitate small group community for adults who have experienced sexual abuse, we call the groups "Mosaic-beauty in brokenness." No super glue to be had, just a creative Saviour.
