All the kings horses and all the king's men could not put Humpty together again. But our text promises that God can do what all the King's men could not do. God can give us a new birth, a meaningful life after an irretrievable loss. Sometimes these are sibling separations. People who were meant to be together have conflict.
Harsh words are uttered.
Wounds may foster for years. Our text says what the God of new beginnings is all about, He gives new life after death, fresh starts after seemingly final endings. As incredible as it sounds, the doctrine of the new birth says a man or woman can, when old, enter again into his or her mother's womb and be born all the kings horses and all the King's men may not be able to put that person back together again, but the God who made him pr her can put the shattered pieces back together. When significant relationships are irretrievably broken, we can savor those relationships that are not broken. We can form new relationships and live as though we just arrived on the planet today.
