Why is it only when things break we are able to see what they are made of? We could find out ahead of time through investigation but we don’t . We accept things at face value and presume it is the whole picture that matters. When things break we view them as flawed because the are no longer whole. But if the parts make up the whole, who says witness the brokenness is of less value? What if we gain a deeper appreciation of something because we are not able to see all the wondrous elements that compose the whole thing? God invites us to bear witness to our breaking and brokenness of others in the same way.
