I found myself nursing the wounds of my shattered dreams. And suddenly, the word “synergy” emerged to warn me. It was a clear awakening! It was as if the Apostle commanded me:
“Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 ESV).
We often find ourselves moving among those shattered dreams. If something breaks, it can be glued or repaired in some way, but fixing shattered glass is another story. Yet, what is irreparable becomes repairable in the hands of God.
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
We are called to come out of the world and unite in a synergy known as the church. Within it, we are stronger and more powerful in carrying out God’s plan and purpose for our lives.
There, the Lord takes the bad, the good, the wrong, the shattered, and the mistakes, gathers them all together, and transforms them into something good. He makes all things new, and the result is an explosion of good works.
It is for these good works that we were created in Christ Jesus. And that is God’s good pleasure, established since before the foundation of the world.
The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. (ISAIAH 32:17 NKJV).

This post, of Shattered Dreams, reminds me of the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Which symbolize, resilience, healing, and the beauty of imperfection. The art is very expensive and the beauty of the art represents history of broken pieces put together to create something beautiful and unique. In the Master’s hands he’s the Potter and we’re the clay and in his hands if we remain in him and him and us he would turn our Shattered Dreams from ashes to the beauty that reflects his majesty.
