The broken sole

I told Lymon that I was going to write about his shoes, and he laughed and said my shoes?  For months I have been after him about buying new shoes.  The soles on both shoes was about to come off, and one shoe it's sole was hanging by a thread.  So of course this got me to thinking about our souls and how broken they are sometimes.   I have had a very broken soul before,  so much so that I wasn't sure if it could be mended.  At this time of the year a lot of people have broken souls for so many reasons.   I thought about Lymon's shoes, and where all they had been. Those shoes have walked many miles over the last two years,  some good and some not so good.  He has walked through mud, and got them dirty,  just like sin does to our soul, and anger, and betrayal.   Those soles have seen the rain and wind just like our souls have seen lose, and distrust,  those soles have also seen the hot sun that has caused cracks and holes and tears in them,  just as our soul has seen depression and oppression and disheartening situations.  He tried to put glue on them but that didn't work,  some said tape,  but putting glue or tape is only temporary,  just like the many things we try to use as coping techniques for our broken soul.   So here it comes the only way is brand new soles, the only way is Jesus to give us a new life a new soul.  I pray that if you have a broken soul that you go to Jesus. Merry Christmas.  Love you all... JPH
