Break Before Mending

Since He mends what is broken, His breaking is in reality mending.

He alone has the right to break for, He alone can mend what is broken.
He that knows how to sew together, knows how to tear apart.
Whatever He sells, He buys something better in exchange. He lays the house in ruins, then in a moment He makes it more habitable than before.
Since He mends what is broken, His breaking is in reality mending.
