Scripture: Matthew 5:23-24
Every day, we are given opportunities to guard our hearts. Jesus cares about all the moments in our lives, no matter how unimportant they seem.
There is an art form called Kintsugi (kin-soo-gee). In Japan, artists repair broken pottery with gold or sometimes gold-colored paint. The renewed pottery is considered all the more beautiful because of its brokenness.
Make your own version of Kintsugi at home:
- Cut 4-in. diameter paper hearts out of construction paper.
- On one side of your paper heart, write one or more sad feelings or actions. When you are finished writing, tear your heart into 3 or 4 pieces. The tears symbolize that our human hearts are broken by pain and sadness.
- Tape the pieces back together.
- Once the heart is taped together, flip the heart over and carefully apply gold glitter glue over the tear marks.
Jesus receives our broken hearts and heals and renews them. Jesus can make our hearts all the more beautiful because of their brokenness through his redeeming touch, just like the gold.
