The Winchester Cathedral located in Hampshire in England is very famous.

Many people visit this building to catch a sight of it which was built with much ingenuity. Above the main entrance to the building, one can see a big window (called the West window). On 12th of December in the year 1642, the country was going through a war. A platoon of enemy soldiers rushed into the cathedral building. Those soldiers who entered the cathedral destroyed the furniture and other things inside. They fired at the main window for a long time. The multicoloured window panes fell down and was shattered into a thousand pieces. It was scattered all over the cathedral floor. The enemy forces went through the city by making great noise.

As the people of the city came, their hearts were broken when they beheld the scene in the cathedral. With great sorrow they put all the broken pieces of the West window in boxes. Since the window panes are gone, water would seep in, if it rains. It was a pitiable situation.

Many days went by. The people repaired the window panes after pasting the broken pieces in a special manner in the form of a mosaic… Now the window has become an artistic beauty… When the sun rises up there is a riot of colours in the building! Many designs could be seen on the floor. As the orientation of the sun changes, the colours in the building also changes… Eye-popping designs formed by the light rays! The West window became one of the most beautiful sights in England.

Thousands of broken glass pieces…Of different colours are scattered around…Worth only being thrown into a garbage can… There was no hope, even when it was gathered together in a box…

Nonetheless, when those glass pieces were arranged and pasted together, it became an art form which brought happiness into the hearts of people. 

At least some of you who read this article might be thinking… All hopes gone… Like a glass-palace that has fallen and broken… Nevertheless, our Lord is the One who will build those lives which are broken. Commit your life  into His hands. The light rays of grace of Jesus the rising sun, will enter into your life…You will become a blessing for others.…
