As a little girl growing up
living in a house of darkness
I developed this mechanical gadget
that helped me survive the atrocities
the only way a child could all on her own
As I grew into a young adult
this darkness would continue to rule
over my life attracting the darkness repeatedly
until this mechanical gadget could no
longer help me survive and finally broke…
Yet, this was the most beautiful day of my life
for I called out to no one but the One who would
pick up all the broken pieces of my mechanical gadget
and through His tender velvet touches of Grace
turned my mechanical gadget into a heart of love.

An interesting take o the prompt. I’m wondering what the mechanical device might have been.

The mechanical gadget was my heart that was hardened by anger, rage, pain, hatred,bitterness, resentment, that helped me survive until God redeemed me and gave me a heart of love! 😀 ❤

No need for sorry and do not be hard on yourself because if you haven’t had to survive those things then you never had a hardened heart but instead a beautiful one which you do have! 😀 ❤
