In life's shattering blows; it's hard to discern the blessing of God~
The death of a loved one, the loss of s job, a lingering tough illness, the abuse, a tough relationship, mistreatment...the list is endless...
These catalysts for brokenness all possess a wrenching pain and the possible power to forever change our lives~
The same catalysts also possess one more thing...when looked into/at with the right attitude...The potential for discovering a richness in living...that we would never see without being broken~
After brokenness we can experience God's greatest blessings...the dawn after a very dark night full of storms is glorious...Joy coming in the morning is just but ecstatic~
Our greatest therefore in brokenness is to look beyond the storm & see...get a glimpse of the promise of a blessing~
Brokenness-shifts our view from self- life to God's will for us~our ministry to other people & new dimensions of freedom, strength & peace-for all the trials you go through build your muscle...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger~
So...go ahead...pick up the pieces...with God's help...let him re- assemble the threads of your life into a wholeness that only the ones who've been through the oath of brokenness can ever know~^
