BROKE – REDUCED TO FRAGMENTS, RUPTURED, OR TORN.
BROKEN – SMASHED, INTERRUPTED, DISTURBED, OR DISCONNECTED.
BROKENNESS – WORLD FALLING APART, HITTING ROCK BOTTOM OR DARKNESS.
Have
you ever broken a favorite vase? You see it hit the floor and shatter,
break into pieces. You start to gather it up with the mindset that you
can repair it. Sometimes, you are cut by the pieces, yet you don’t seem
to mind because you can ignore the pain, if it means you can repair the
broken piece. In some instances you can repair
the vase. You can get the pieces, if not too many, to stick with glue
and show no signs of being damaged. But, there are times when the break
is too great and the pieces are too many, and you can’t put it back
together again….
As
in all things, I will always remind you to get God’s perspective on
broke, broken, or brokenness. You are asking…”Why would God want to see
me broken?” Isn’t that painful? Of course, it is?
God is not intentionally inflicting pain on any of us. But, as we live
this life we will come into the time and place when things are broken.
Those are the times when we need God to seal the break with His
everlasting love. Through adversity, failure, and disappointment, the
Father molds us into people whom He can use.
