Shattered

b'A fragment. A shard. A useless bit of glass.\\nA piece among many. Split from the mass.\\nSilenced. Alone. No comfort in sight.\\nAn endless abyss. As dark as the night.\\nA yearning. A desire. A never-ending prayer.\\nFor comfort. For calm. For someone to care.\\nA piece among many. Split from the mass.\\nSilenced. Alone. A useless shard of glass.\\nAn answer to my petition. Peace. Hope.\\nA light in the tunnel. A way to cope.\\nComforted. Forgiven. Enveloped in love.\\nJoy. New life. On the wings of a dove.\\nA fragment. A shard. Now pure in His sight.\\nA piece among many. Refracting the light. \\u2022 Gracee Terrell\\n\\u2022 When do you feel alone? \\n\\u2022 What is God\\u2019s recurring promise in Genesis 28:15, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew\\n28:20, and John 14:16-18? \\n\\u2022 God has compassion on us, and He doesn\\u2019t leave us to suffer alone.\\nBecause Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave for us, everyone\\nwho puts their trust in Him is forgiven, brought near to God, and becomes\\npart of His family, the church. Together, we get to reflect His love to one\\nanother\\u2014and to the world! Who are trusted Christians in your life you can\\nbe honest with when you are struggling? How can you show love to each other\\nin these times? \\nBut now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near\\nby the blood of Christ.
