G’day from Steve,

The Miracle of Brokenness

There is something special about people who have hit rock bottom and allowed the Lord to rebuild the foundations and walls of their lives. They are honest and transparent and more understanding of you, no matter where you are at. They don’t dwell on the superficial. They listen more and their words are few; But what they say speaks loudly to your soul. 
People who are greatly used by God have usually been greatly broken in life. We cannot expect to experience the fullness of life without walking through the emptiness of loss and sorrow at times. I know this to be true. But you can trust people who have been broken.

 I came across this amazing verse the other day. 

2 Samuel 14:14. 
“Like water spilled on the ground that cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead He devises ways so that a banished person may not be estranged from Him.”

Jesus was a man who was so completely broken before His father that people in their multitudes were drawn to him. The Cross was before him. He knew his purpose and cause. By the millions, they worship him today because of his eternal unconditional love. His purpose was to make a way so that banished sinners would not be estranged from Him.
I love that!! We all know we don’t always get everything we want in life… but we sure get so much more than we deserve!! 
That’s the amazing grace of God over our lives every day. As we daily surrender our lives to Him, in our brokenness we are conformed to His character and made whole. For His cause.

Keep going strong in your faith and keep fighting for the stuff worth fighting for!

Godspeed,
