Many of us have experienced being broken. We have experienced spiritual and emotional brokenness. It could be by a boyfriend/girlfriend, a spouse, a friend, a family member, a church member or enemy. Often times we are oblivious to the approach of our brokenness. It just jumps on us without warning and we are unaware and unprepared.
In many cases we look to God and ask Him, “why didn’t you warn me?” But I have come to realize that God doesn’t owe me any answers and I must stay in my place as sinner and not savior! Being broken can be a good thing. When you are broken by the world…you are left in pieces. When you are broken by God…he repairs you better than you were before you was broken.
In God’s word when Jacob wrestled with the Angel he ended up being broken. They wrestled all night long until the Angel said, “let me go because it is daybreak!” Jacob’s reply was, “I will not let you go until you bless me!” The Angel touched Jacob in the hollow of his thigh, crippling him. In the midst of being broken in that spot, the scripture says that right there is where the Lord blessed him!
How many of you can give testimony that in the very place you were broken, is the very place you was blessed!
I have been broken in my life by many people. Some intentional and some people were being used by God to break me. I can truly say that because I have been broken I am now made stronger because the Lord has put me back together again…but with stronger glue. Many of us are fragile but every time we are fractured and we mend our wounds, we are made stronger than before.
Some of you are in pieces right now. Don’t worry! God will make you better. Trust in the healing process. Trust in the restoration process. Trust in the mending POWER of the Lord! Marvin Sapp sang it well when he said, “I never would have made it. I’m stronger, wiser, better…much better. When I look back over all you brought me through I can see that you were the one I held on to!”
You are on your way to your breakthrough. Hold on. Stay strong! It will be alright!
Sound Back!

Amen Pastor, I’ve learned that when I get broken down is when I loose focus and need to become humble.
It’s when we take our eyes off the master that we become self destructive and need to be chastised and put back on the right path.
Your words today fall into the same category that I posted today on my social media! Its all apart of the plan, His plan for our breakthrough! Great post!
