A Thought on Brokenness

Sometimes in order for us to learn anything, we have to come to a place in our lives where all the music stops, and nothing is left but a stark moment of reality. In order to face that reality and even accept that reality we sometimes have to be broken and humbled. In that state, sometimes there's nothing left to do but humbly accept it and learn to cope with it until once again our vigor is renewed and life again is refreshing. Of course in my situation I always go to the Lord for His advice and wisdom and healing and renewal. With Him, there is hope. And with Him, what seems like a daunting and neverending storm can inevitably turn into a blessed hope. He always provides a way to cope with life's trials, and He always provides an escape from making the wrong decisions. Thank you Lord=)

Long ago and even today shepherds would actually break the leg of a lamb who was constantly running away all the time. He would mend the wound, then put him on his shoulders and carry him until the wound healed and he could walk again. Guess what? that lamb would walk beside the shepherd the rest of his life and never run away again. This is symbolic of how we can be with the Lord at times...we need to be broken sometimes in order to stay close to Him. If anything, i feel like that little lamb, broken and helpless, yet with the hope that I will heal and my days ahead will be spent closer to Him than ever...=)
