BROKENNESS can mean a lot of things to so many people. Brokenness, in His eyes, is to be broken, crushed, and torn in spirit over sin. In the life of David we see beauty of Brokenness Psalm 51. A diamond is just a stone until it’s broken for the sparkle to be revealed.
Gold is very dirty until it goes through the fire then the shine is revealed. Olives are crushed to extract oil. Beauty in Brokenness is revealing who we are for a greater purpose.
Brokenness helps us to see less of us and more of God. It looks out for the mind of God over any issue and helps us to prefer and see others through the eyes of God’s love. Brokenness is a process we go through and it can take some time, where God exposes our fleshly attempts to have core needs of love, acceptance, worth and security met in our own strength and it shows how it is truly impossible to live the Christian life we want to live.
Brokenness is necessarily painful because ever since Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden all human being ever born have an inbuilt desire to rebel against God and try to meet our needs in our own ways. God can take what has been broken and remake it into something better or beautiful, something He can use for His glory.
Only when we surrender our struggle to Jesus Christ can we be restored and transformed in the image of His beauty. Such surrender requires a brokenness on our part, denying ourselves those things of the flesh or habit that hinders our growth in Christ (Luke 9:23) God delights in making beauty out of our brokenness if we let Him.
He restores the beautiful vessel He can use for His glory. Because of His son Jesus Christ, He will give us beauty in our Brokenness, in Jesus Name. Amen. Humility is beautiful.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
