Psalm 51:17 (NKJV) 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.
In today’s society, broken things get tossed aside… hidden away or disposed of because they are thought to be of no use.
Sometimes we might feel like we’re broken and of no use to anyone. We’ve made mistakes, bad choices and just blown it all the way around. And now we’re laying flat on our back, looking up.
We might even feel like it’s all over and nobody can love us. We might feel like even God can’t help us.
We feel like we’re through. We just want to throw in the towel and forget about everything.
But God loves it when we’re broken before Him!
No, it’s not that He loves to see us hurting. Not at all. But until we are broken before Him, He can never really use us!
You see, we have to reach the end of ourselves before God can take what’s left, rebuild it and breathe new life into it and then make us into who He wants us to be.
Then, and only then can He mold us, shape us and clean up those rough edges and make something brand new out of us.
So if you feel like you’re broken and useless, and worn out from life’s battles, take heart! Because you’re really only just beginning.
And new beginnings are God’s specialty.
