I know a man who after moving into a house attempted to fix a kitchen drawer. He carefully put the drawer together after much work. He was not skilled in the art of carpentry but after some reserve presented the drawer to his wife.
The wife said in a ridiculed tone, “Did you let the kids put this together”?
The man walked out of his house, bashed the drawer into many, many pieces. He then presented to his wife.
He never replaced the drawer. He would walk by it daily. The gaping hole in the cabinet reminded him of the insult and his failure.
The man confided that he held on to the hurt long after the incident and would often revisit the past when he saw the hole. His wife had no idea why he would grow distant at times for no apparent reason.
The man has since moved on from that house and the hurt and has since found healing in forgiveness through Jesus.
Jesus is the master carpenter who repairs relationships and fills the holes in our hearts.
Go and have that hole fixed.
