Morning Line: Kintsugi

Morning Line: Kintsugi

 “The world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” ~Ernest Hemingway

Jesus said: The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;” Luke 4:1 (NKJV) “

We all get broken in one way or another in this life. It’s an unavoidable part of living.

But we do have a choice about how we handle those breaks. Sometimes we get stuck in the brokenness and never heal. Or we try to pretend the brokenness is not there, driving it into our shadow where we act it out toward others without knowing why.

Sometimes we give ourselves the time and resources to heal those broken places, but the scars remain tender and reactive.

And then there are the times when we do the hard work that’s required to not only heal the broken places but to make those places stronger than they were before. Then, our scars become beautiful in the way they allow us to bring healing to the world around us.

The Japanese art of Kintsugi (also known as kintsukuroi) repairs broken pottery with seams of gold and is a fitting metaphor for this last way of dealing with the broken places that life gives all of us. Kintsugi repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the container even more beautiful and valuable than it was before being broken.

This theme of finding beauty in the healing of life’s wounds is in the Body, Blood, and Restoration of Life, as Christ Jesus is Lord, Savior, and Healer of your Life.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NRSVCE) “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope”
