Meaning of fragile easily broken or damaged.

The word fragile only appears three times in the Bible... 

When I think of the word fragile my mind sees a gentle beautiful rose... how delicate each rose petal seems. She is much like our life... beautiful and delicate and as precious as the dew that gently kisses her each new day. 

Do we value this gift of life? Do we value each new day?  Do we value each soul that touches our life? Do we value the time spent with others? Do we value our Creator, or do we robotically take all things in our world for granted?? Life is fragile. Time is a fragile gift... How we spend and share our time can change how we value the things that surround us each new day...

If there is one thing, I have learned during this amazing journey is that I am fragile.  Life, Love, and time are all fragile!!! 

I had this idea in my head that I was in control!  I felt I was a fairly strong, confident human. 

But when God stripped me down to the rawness of who I truly was ... I became like a fragile infant in His caring hands...It was a scary but beautiful time of discovery ... I had to face who I had become... 

As He gently unraveled my mind, my body, and soul...  I remember saying ... 

I felt like I was coming apart at the seams... My heart felt like it was being circumcised... My heart became fragile, and it did bleed... I won’t lie it was sometimes a painful process...

But as He began to peel the layers of life away... My once bound soul began to breathe... My heart began to sing a new song... and Life seemed to burst into amazing living colors ...

It sounds strange, but I was not even aware that I was in this state of robotic living ... 

Until one day ... I met this amazing living loving God... He is my Knight in shining armor!!!  My Savior, My heart ... 

He gently held me as I spiritually became undone ... He wiped the many tears that fell ... and I was drawn into His heart as He gently whispered words of love to my soul...

He methodical began to teach me new ways to see the beauty of life...and I felt a love that is not of this world... and like the famous nursery rhyme Humpy Dumpty He began to put me together again... He lifted the fog and I could finally see... 

I now realize in my robotic state I was missing so much. I had become lost in life. My strength was a cloak that I adorned before others... So they could not see my internal fragile state... 

I found being in that vulnerable fragile state was not as bad as I once thought... I did learn, If I run to Him, and allow Him to hold me in His loving hands ... He is all I need… He is all I need to face each beautiful new day... 

He has realigned my heart and what I value most... Life... Love... Time & Relationships...

I am still a work in progress ...

He has given me a beautiful irreplaceable gift!!! 

It’s Him, It’s always Him!! 

My Knight. My Love... My strength!!! With Him all things are possible!!! He WOWs me.

“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! John 14:27
