Throughout my life, I have desired blessings and avoided brokenness. My drive to have things my own way, required that my will be "saddle-busted"!
For God to deal with the areas in our life that keep us from wholeness in Him, He must bring us to the area of submission to His will. He desires to bring us to a point of total dependance on Him. "Nothing short of complete dependance will suffice". Often times, the areas that we see as strengths in are lives, are where God chooses to bring brokenness. But the purpose in brokenness is always wholeness. The wholeness that God desires for us is that we might bear MUCH fruit. In brokenness, when we "abide in the vine", he grows in us the fruit and character to make us like Christ. In bringing us to the point of spiritual maturity, He empowers us for supernatural ministry. When we allow the "wild shoots" to be pruned away from our lives, the Holy Spirit flourishes into "much fruit". Brokenness is His way to blessing.
"Praise God.....He loves us so much that he never gives up on us, never loses interest in us, and never rejects us. His desire is to live in spiritual intimacy with us forever. He asks only that we trust him to be our God, so that we might be his people and bring him glory."
