Why Brokenness?

It is a paradox that to be useful we must be broken. The problem with brokenness is that I can harden my heart and refuse to allow God to make me useful.
"Very few of us know anything about loyalty to Christ or understand what He meant when He said, “. . . for My sake” (Matthew 5:11). That is what makes a strong saint.
Has that breaking of my independence come? All the rest is religious fraud. The one point to decide is— will I give up? Will I surrender to Jesus Christ, placing no conditions whatsoever as to how the brokenness will come? I must be broken from my own understanding of myself. When I reach that point, immediately the reality of the supernatural identification with Jesus Christ takes place. And the witness of the Spirit of God is unmistakable— “I have been crucified with Christ . . . .”" -  Chambers
May we be shattered by Him today so that we may be totally identified with Him in our every encounter today.
I am praying for you.

Sent by one of my brothers, what a blessing.
Love ya, T
