Craig Groeschel wrote this post and it really messed with me. I can remember times in my life where, at the time it didn’t look this way, but times that God was truly breaking me. He has molded me…and it doesn’t always feel good. But, he does it in such a way that you draw closer to Him…and you are more useable for His service.
Are you willing to pray the most dangerous prayer that you can? If, you are then read further.
Enjoy!
God rarely (if ever) uses good things to break you. The “breaking” is painful.
On the other side of brokenness, you’ll find many blessings:
- The problems that used to seem big barely register as problems in your world.
- People’s opinions of you don’t mean nearly as much.
- You fully embrace that you “don’t have enough.” Then—and only then—can God become everything you need.
- You discover an intimacy with God that sustains you moment by moment.
- Scripture becomes the bread that nourishes you.
- Heaven becomes closer. This world doesn’t hold you as tightly.
If God is breaking you, I feel for you. I also know that on the other side, you’ll find strength and comfort in the presence of God greater than you’ve ever known.
How can you relate?
