To Hope,
our first daughter
your brave heart is always a gift to behold, to hold, to cherish.
You live your name like a gift everywhere you go.
S ometimes in the stillness you can hear it, the sound of a million quiet-beating hearts.
Were all looking for it, searching desperately for the secret to abundance. Will this bring what Im seeking? You can almost hear the asking echoing in every brave beat.
Theres an answer weve got to find, if were ever to find what were seeking: How in all this world do you live with your one broken heart?
Weve got to know the answer before we can hope to find what were seeking. Because this world is beautifulbut this world is broken. And the suffering is all around us... in us.
And yet, for those who believe, this can be the very birthplace of healing beauty.
Though your heart will be broken, this is where light will get in, where love will get in. And though you may know great suffering, thats right where the greatest love can embrace you.
Knowing this, living this, could change everything.
We can find gratitude in all things, learn to count the gifts and awaken to the fact that all is grace in our one brutal and beautiful life. And yet there can come a heart-wrenching struggle and the sudden question of what to do with your brokenness.
If youre truly paying attention to all God brings, you cant help but acknowledge that He has allowedeven brought usbrokenness and suffering. And even if we can find gratitude for it, still we must discover how to move forward in it.
This dare to be the gift is a call to let your brokenness be turned into abundance. A call to act and live out the brave and the bold beauty of The Broken Way. Even in the depths of our own brokennessactually, because of the depths of our own brokennessGod can use each of us to be a gift to another broken heart. He makes us enough, makes our brokenness into abundance, to give to the brokenhearted. And in healing, we find healing.
Our every act can be an act of hope, of choosing to be the gift in a broken world, to be the love making a broken world know more of its belovedness.
The thrilling secret beyond all suffering is that evenespeciallyin that place of suffering, we can become Gods gifts to others, and we can taste the actual goodness of His abundance.
Maybe the only abundant way forwardis always to give ourselves forward? To be the broken and brave who know that when the stakes are the highest, kindness matters the most. To believe that the bad brokenness of the world is met by the good brokenness of Christs humble sacrifice for us.
Even the smallest seeds of kindness can begin to break the worst kind of brokenness.
Yes, its trueour hearts may be busted and bruised... but I just keep repeating the healing secret of what to do with your one broken heart: give it away, because this is how you begin to heal. Because there is no deep healing in our hearts until we are part of deep healing in the world. Because the best way to love in a brokenhearted world is to feel along for the brokenness in things, and to give our own hearts to that brokenness
