"Just as the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi transforms broken pottery into a beautiful piece of art, God does not minimize our suffering but integrates it into his larger narrative of restoration. Our pain becomes part of our story of healing, not as an open wound but as a healed scar that testifies to survival, grace, and ultimate restoration. On that day, our celebrations will be deeper, our joy more profound, because we will more clearly see how our fractures reveal God’s lavish grace."
