We desperately need to exhaust our personal resources and declare bankruptcy, falling on our knees in dependence before a God who is waiting to be more than our refuge of last resort. We need brokenness in the worst way. I’d rather we get there through a swarm of bugs than not get there at all.
And that’s how it works: people minister out of their redeemed brokenness. When we’re broken, we move towards dependence on God. He redeems it, finding gold in the trash heap of our life, and once we’ve come through the brokenness, we can listen with appreciative tenderness and pray for others going through a similar trial. Wild horses are that way - they need to be broken and then they are able to "partner" with their rider.
Like wild horses, God breaks us to help us run faster.
What has brought you to brokenness and a greater dependence on God?
