“Though we may feel we are "like a broken vessel," as the Psalmist says (Psalms 31:12), we must remember, that vessel is in the hands of the divine potter. Broken minds can be healed just the way broken bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work making those repairs, the rest of us can help by being merciful, nonjudgmental, and kind.” WayFeelsMindHeartKindMayHelpingHandsRememberDivineBrokenBonesVesselPottersHealedMercifulBeing MePsalmsBroken Bone Author:Jeffrey R.
