brokenness

met a lady at the park today, God gave me a picture for her, i had paper and coloring materials with me, so i drew it for her and as i was telling her the nice things God had shown me abt her with the picture, she broke down and thanked God, she poured out her heart, and i realized that she was going through what i had been through before.. i shared my testimony of how and God had delivered me from that deep dark valley of tears and given me such joy.. He is our deliverer and healer and protector and provider. i had also wondered if i could smile again when i was so broken, but nothing is impossible for God. He gave me amazing joy so much sooner than i thought possible. we prayed and hugged and prayed some more, she shared that she's never been to the park before and she rarely ventured out beyond her neighborhood, she was at another end of the park but somehow her feet brought her to the spot we met, she knew it was God..

she didn't know that we were there on a treasure hunt with God, we had actually prayed and asked God to send us His treasures so that we may bless them with the nice things He wanted to tell them, and she was one of the precious treasures that God had led us to today! while i was chatting and praying with her, i invited my friend over to bless her with a song, without even knowing God had just downloaded a new song to my friend especially for her, and the lyrics was just perfect for her! my friend wasn't even within earshot, that is how amazing God is.. He loves each of us in such a perfect way, and always loves us so much more than we can imagine..

thank you Lord, in all our brokenness, we give You glory, honor, praise, and thanks

a visiting pastor who didn't know me at all, prophesied during anointing some time ago, that God had allowed my heart to be broken for a reason, and that He wants to be my relationship. God is so awesome, people who know Him closely and hears His voice so clearly, are so amazing and such a blessing, i wanna be like them too Lord, to hear your softest sigh, and be totally obedient to You

been getting this picture of a shell totally broken, and God's great big gentle hand taking the pearl from the broken shell and beholding it in His hands. God is holding me in His hands.. another lady minister who didn't know me had also saw the same picture of God holding me like a pearl in His hand and she doesn't know this picture God gave me.. wow God

Pleasing to the Lord

"Prepare it with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. - Leviticus 6:21

There is a requirement to be blessed at a deeper spiritual level by God. Christ requires it of each of His servants. He required it of Paul when He struck him down on the Damascus Road. He required it of Joseph when he was left in the pit and then sold into slavery. He required it of Jacob when he left his homeland penniless and needy. He required it of most every major leader that He used significantly - brokenness.

Brokenness cannot be achieved on your own. It is something God does Himself. We cannot determine that we are going to be broken, but we can refuse to become broken. When God begins this deeper work in our lives, we can kick and scream and refuse the process. We can manipulate and strive to stay on top, but this only delays His work."
