The Hole in the Donut: Finding Wholeness in Our Brokenness
Ever wonder why donuts have holes? It’s not just a quirky design choice—it was a solution to a problem. Early donuts were too dense; the outside would cook, but the center remained raw. By removing the middle, the donut could cook evenly, becoming the treat we know today.
Similarly, we all have holes; wounds, losses, or gaps in our lives. These aren’t flaws; they’re spaces where growth and healing occur. Just as the donut’s hole allows it to be fully cooked, our own “holes” can lead us to become fully formed individuals.
2 Corinthians 12:9: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Next time you see a donut, remember: it’s complete because of its hole. Embrace your own imperfections—they might just be the spaces where God’s grace works most profoundly.
