In our time of prayer and reflection with God, the image came to mind of being seated among colored shards of glass. And I sensed God&#8217;s direction to let him put them together into a beautiful mosaic. How less beautiful would the work of art be without his Light to shine through it?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how to put the broken pieces of my heart or my life together. But, I can hand them over to my Artist to make a masterpiece. The design, intention, and artisanship, of a Creator changes the useless into his glorious creation. I&#8217;m &#8220;in progress&#8221;, and when he&#8217;s done, I won&#8217;t just be mended, but I&#8217;ll be his lovely work of art.<\/p>\n<p>Help me, dear God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do you feel like a mosaic in-progress?
