The Missing Link

As I put on my favourite necklace, I realised one of the links was missing. I had not known it was broken when I placed it in the drawer, but now the necklace was useless to me until the links were joined again.

A week earlier I had seen a small silver link on the carpet. Not knowing where it came from, I had picked it up and put it in a little dish on the windowsill. Now I could repair the necklace.
 
Like the broken necklace, we can become broken in our spiritual life. 

This brokenness can happen when any one of life’s devastating losses comes our way—illness, death of a loved one, job loss, divorce. 

Feeling disconnected from God can happen when we have an argument with a family member or a friend, or when we have an unpleasant encounter with a colleague or even a stranger at the supermarket.

Our brokenness can be repaired through prayer, personal devotional time and meditation. We can reconnect with God through Bible study groups and community worship. God always provides a link for us if we will take advantage of it.

Prayer: Help us, O God, to stay linked to you. Amen
