Holding the Pieces

 For the one 

who is 

left holding 

pieces 

you never thought 

you would be 

and that you 

don’t know what 

to do with. 

Pieces that are

jagged,

awkward, 

painfully heavy 

or unwanted.

Oh precious one,

from one who 

was left 

to carry pieces 

of her own, 

the best advice 

I can give you

is to tell you 

to give them all 

to Jesus. 

How? - you may ask. 

Over and over again. 

As often as it takes. 

Through tears. 

Through anger. 

Through clenched fists. 

Through 

regret, 

confession, 

and repentance. 

Through long nights. 

Through prayers. 

Through worship. 

Through and through. 

Just keep on 

giving it all 

to Jesus.

In time, 

(or maybe in 

a moment’s time) 

God will either 

take it all 

or He will

come alongside you 

helping you

to carry it. 

Either way, 

He will hear 

your cry 

and answer. 

How do I know? - you may ask. 

Because 

when I gave 

it all to Jesus, 

The One 

who saw me 

trying to 

carry it all -

began 

to carry me. 

Why not 

let Him 

carry you, too?~❤
