This is not my typical blog post. While I do have two pages dedicated to The Good News and Encouragements, I want to get straight to the point today without a lengthy introduction. To start, I subscribe to Rabbi and Pastor Jonathan Cahn‘s daily (Monday through Friday) devotions. Like clockwork, these devotions arrive in my email inbox each morning, and today was no exception. Rabbi Cahn’s messages are always poignant and often profoundly applicable to my life.
This morning’s message, however, touched my heart in a particularly deep way. I, like many of you, have experienced the pain of deep heartache and profound disappointment—truths that led me to begin this blog in the first place.
Only recently have I come to truly understand that it’s in my brokenness that Jesus makes me whole. He carefully crafts the shattered pieces of my life back together in His image. Perhaps today’s post will speak to your heart as well, encouraging you to release everything into the hands of Jesus, our Master Carpenter. Then, be still. Watch as His Glory shines through, and see the beauty He creates as He looks upon you—The Master Carpenter’s beloved new creation.
Be blessed, friends.
It’s actually a Jewish tradition that the Messiah would be a carpenter. Why a carpenter? A carpenter specializes in putting things together. A carpenter takes pieces of material and out of them forms something beautiful. If you’re human and living on this planet, chances are you’ve seen parts of your life break apart – dreams, relationships, promises, and hearts. We’ve all experienced missing pieces. Our lives need the hands of a carpenter. Messiah’s specialty is to take the brokenness and piece it together until your life turns out to be something beautiful. Your part is to let Him have all the pieces. Bring to Him all of your brokenness – your sorrows, losses, frustrations, hurts, and wounds. Give Him your broken dreams, relationships, promises, and broken hearts – all of it. Put them all into Messiah’s hands. You don’t have to struggle with your life. You can entrust it into His hands because His hands are the hands of a carpenter. He is the Master Carpenter of life. So, let Him be the Carpenter of your life. That’s when your life will come together and become something beautiful.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, From Message #86 – The Fallen Sukkah of David
Scripture:Â Isaiah 44:24
