(Thanks, Pat, for passing this along to me!)
It’s the nature of things which catch the light: The colour and dazzle of light sparkles best through things that are shattered. Only our great God can reach down into what otherwise would be brokenness and produce something beautiful. Every broken dream and heart that hurts can be redeemed by His loving, warm touch. Your life may be shattered by sorrow, pain, or sin, but God has in mind a kaleidoscope through which His light can shine more brilliantly.
