People are not from nursery rhymes & fairy tales. We don't live fairy tales lives- Real life is BETTER.
Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall. Totally Shattered! He could not be put together again.
Consider as well, the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin. What a twisted tale of a man manipulating a vulnerable woman, in the end he tears himself apart. Yes, he tears himself in half, literally. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/044.txt
And all the king's horses and all the king's men could not put Rumpelstiltskin together again, either.
How aweful! I am so grateful for God's work of healing & restoration!
In my prayers today I was thanking God that He's put me back together, again. The second time will be even better! The third; and, the fourth; and, the 300 millionth time, God will put us back together! Life is better than nursery rhymes and fairy tales that possess twisted & dark endings.
I just love these quotes from scripture! Brings Life to My Bones & Strength to my Faith!
"This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole. This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time."
John 6:39
Peter fairly exploded with his good news: "It's God's own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you're from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel—that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again—well, he's doing it everywhere, among everyone.
Acts 10:34
But now that you've found you don't have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way! Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God's gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master.
Romans 6:22
Romans 6:22
It's what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy. Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ. Do that and you'll kill two birds with one stone: pleasing the God above you and proving your worth to the people around you.
Romans 4:17
