About this image
A stained glass window does not break quietly. It shatters into dozens of pieces, each one jagged, each one still carrying a fragment of the original design. But on this workshop table, someone is putting the fragments back. Light has already begun streaming through the reassembled sections, throwing colored patterns across the workspace. That is what Psalm 147:3 describes -- not a quick fix, but restoration. The Hebrew word rapha, translated as "heals," carries the meaning of mending, stitching, making whole again. It appears over sixty times in the Old Testament, often in contexts where the healing is gradual rather than instant. Stained glass restoration is itself a centuries-old craft. The great cathedrals of Europe -- Chartres, Notre-Dame, Canterbury -- employ master glaziers whose sole job is to repair windows damaged by time, weather, and war. Some of these windows are 800 years old. The fact that they can be restored at all is a testimony to the durability of glass and the skill of patient hands. The half-assembled window in this image is both broken and beautiful. Light does not wait for completion before shining through. And maybe that is the most honest thing about healing -- it happens in stages, and each stage lets in a little more light. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
