Jigsaw

The miracles God does for the broken-hearted.

There's a joy inside of me

filling in the holes

that all the heartbreak left behind.

Piecing together all the pieces

of my shattered heart.

Like a jigsaw puzzle

so lovingly being put back together.

Mending each piece to one another

as if they had never been a part.

My heart is being made new

like I've never been hurt before.

A love like no other

has been made known to me.

His gentle kindness

showing me the way.

"Though people have left you to suffer alone

I won't stand-by and watch you fall.

You are my precious child

I am always with you, 

I am on your side.

Place your faith in me,

I won't lead you astray."

His whispers echo

and travel through my soul.

I can't help but believe

in the promises I see He keeps.

He's the only one

who has never let me down.

So how can I deny?

What is right before my eyes?

A God who is so merciful and true

one who is truly real and so alive.

I know Him

not by knowledge,

but through experience and feeling.

How else could I have changed so?

My heart was broken,

way beyond repair.

I held no hope for it to ever mend

I thought I was too far past redemption to even care.

In like a tornado He swept 

cradling me in His arms.

Capturing this mistrusting heart,

in one easy fell swoop.

Cleaning house all through out

and fixing all the broken pieces.

Filling in what was missing.

Leaving me feeling quite floored

and more than a little bedazzled.

There's so much work that's been done,

and even more yet to do.

It's all in your hands

because I know

that you are putting the broken pieces of my life

together one at a time.

So patiently I wait

while you do your thing.

Love like no other

touching me so gently.

I've finally given my heart away

to someone who I know won't break it.

Slowly gaining my trust

which is a feat in and of itself.

He has taken a hold of all that I am.

God owns my heart and soul,

Never do I plan to ask for them back

for I know it's in good hands.

"Love, that's all I ever asked for."

Trust in His promise that the wounds will be healed.
This is truly inspiring...a strong testimony how God works to mend the broken hearts.
Something I relate with... as I also pick my own pieces to put together, God has gave me the strength to carry on...to be whole again.
I love this work. Thanks for sharing, faithful one.

I thank-you for your encouragement, and I am happy that you liked it. There's a very special story behind this poem, more than the inspiration God gave me for it.
I sincerely hope, that this poem gave hope. I've been to some dark places, places of no return. I know what it's like to have no hope, I know what it's like to have your world continually crash down around you and be helpless to do a thing to stop it....but God has given me hope. And His healing hand. I pray that others may find that hope to carry on, that things do get better, though it may take time. I hope that people find solace in His promises of tomorrow.
Thank-you for taking the time to read this.
