| "...The Beauty of Brokenness is that God can put the Pieces back together..... Jer . 17:14..." |
One of them says............ that brokenness is strength.
How can this be?
How can brokenness be strength?
In order to use men and women to their fullest extent, the Lord has to break His servants so that they might have a new kind of strength that is not human in origin.
It is strength in spirit that is born only through brokenness.
* Paul was broken on the Damascus road....
* Paul was broken on the Damascus road....
* Peter was broken after Jesus was taken prisoner........
* Jacob was broken at Peniel......
* David was broken after his sin with Bathsheba.....
* The list could go on of those the Lord had to break in different ways before they could be used in the Kingdom........
When we are broken, we see the frailty of human strength and come to grips with the reality that we can do nothing in our own strength.
When we are broken, we see the frailty of human strength and come to grips with the reality that we can do nothing in our own strength.
Then, new strength emerges that God uses mightily.
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
"The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength." - 1 Samuel 2:4
Do not fear brokenness, for it may be the missing ingredient to a life that emerges with a new kind of strength and experience not known before.
Do not fear brokenness, for it may be the missing ingredient to a life that emerges with a new kind of strength and experience not known before.
Pray for a broken and contrite heart that God can bless.
Shalom...Maranatha

Dankie, Hendrik, dis 'n pragtige boodskap en baie gepas. Carly Simon het destyds in haar lirieke gese: "There's more room in a broken heart"... 'n Ander wyse persoon het gese mens verander net as jy genoeg geleer het of genoeg seergekry het. Soms moet mens die ou vel/kokon breek sodat die nuwe "jy" te voorskyn kan kom... Baie dankie vir jou daaglikse inspirasie. Jy is baie spesiaal!
