Keeping The Broken Pieces – Toni M. Babcock

Years ago, I was tasked with cleaning an elderly woman’s apartment when I noticed an interesting shadow box hanging on the wall. The box framed a collection of broken shards. Each shard was carefully mounted to showcase its shape and faded design. I was told the shards were found in a southwestern desert about sixty years previous. The elderly woman who had received them from a friend, eventually mounted them in a shadow box. The potter never knew the broken vessel would become a treasured artifact, or the subject of this devotional.
 
As I went about my day, I thought about the shards. They reminded me of the brokenness we all experience in life, and how God treasures our brokenness, so it’s a good thing to surrender our shards to his keeping. What we do with the pieces is up to us. If we see what is broken as of no value, we will sweep up the shattered pieces and discard ourselves as an unfortunate accident. If we see great value in the broken pieces, we will hand ourselves over to God and expect He is going to make something beautiful out of us.
 
God finds his people in the desert and transforms them into His peculiar treasure. The psalmist wrote, “I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind, I am like a broken vessel,” yet by the end of the psalm he pulls out of his spiritual despair and writes “Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD,” (Psalm 31: 12 & 24 KJV).

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
