Shattered

From J.E. Tada's More Precious than Silver

[A dropped cup] didn't shatter, but the fall to the counter was enough to cause a crack. I wondered whether to save it, but in the end decided to trash it. God, on the other hand, saves broken cups. In face, broken vessels are often His most useful tools. 2 Cor 4:7 tells us God pours His treasure into fragile vessels that are prone to shatter. That way everyone knows God is living in us. A broken neck taught me this. But so has a broken heart. At time, whether in my paralysis pain or emotional pain, I have gone to God sighing, "I give up. I can't do anything right. I have no idea how to pull myself out of this mess."
But God says, "I've been waiting for you to come to Me in your brokeness. Here, let me heal you. You need My help, for without Me, you can do nothing."
Don't be ashamed of being shattered. God is looking for broken vessels like you through whom He can showcase His splendor. Remember, when it comes to God's grace, even broken cups can be filled to overflowing. 

There is a Christian movie I adored as a teen. Joshua was the title...and supposedly Jesus had come to earth as this man...a woman snatched up a vase one evening, threw it to the ground and said that it was her life, and no one could fix it...Joshua left the town shortly after, but not not without leaving a package. Inside was the vase, glued back together into a faceted vase of great beauty. Sometimes things have to be broken to show true beauty. And sometimes the glue being used to make that new thing is really slow drying and it takes some time.
In the meantime, one waits and prays. Because God is there, making sure that shattered vase becomes something beautiful. And really...broken glass is beautiful; it's just more useful when the project is complete.
