I could testify from my experience from this very point of spiritual brokenness that without God, who you are and what you can do is nothing prominent. Foremost, it is a total and desperate dependence on Him in every aspect of life. It is a cry from the depths of your soul that shouts….
“God I need You; God I want You; God You are everything to me You are my Heavenly Father”! I can’t live without You, here in my life. I can’t live without You, how could I survive? I know the life of a person without God’s ruling is just a normal life, in its own course, it is getting by. I can’t live without You in my life.”
In his song entitled “I Can’t Live Without You”, Dennis Jernigan penned these words that simply, but clearly, define spiritual brokenness.
Often we call the shots and our will takes centre stage. But when we trust in Jesus as Savior who purchased us, He begins the long process of breaking us of our will so that He can be in control of our lives.
Like the wild horse, we don’t like the breaking process which hurts and we in turn tend to fight against God with all our strength. After all,we want to be in charge of our own lives! For some, unfortunately, they fight with Him all their lives and never come to the point of brokenness and miss out on the most important thing in life that is ‘intimacy with God.’
However, for those who are finally broken off “self” they become useful to God, bear much fruit, and fulfil their destiny.He has planned for them in this life. And most importantly they will come into an intimate, loving relationship with their Master.
My friends, are you on a journey of brokenness? Do you understand that God is everything, I mean absolutely everything in your life? Have you surrendered your will to Him so that His will for you is all you desire?
Brokenness is the only way to wholeness. Be broken in his hands and experience the wholeness that only He can give!
