Broken to be Made Whole

"True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry, but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that God will never abandon us nor send us something we cannot cope with.

Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.

Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.

Sometimes, God allows pain so we can be stronger.

Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble.

Sometimes, God allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves.

Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us." - Quote

God breaks us to make us whole.

 In order to conform us into His image, God has to break off, to "burn out," the impurities (the things that hinder His work in us) so that we can fully reflect His righteousness.

He has to break us of our pride, of our fears (fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of failure), and of all our selfishness.

Whatever God's doing in your life do not despair or lose hope. Cry out to God. Pour out your heart before Him, and trust Him in the midst of your struggles. 

Let Him work in you during this time and remember that He has a bigger plan and is using this time of "breaking" to make you whole, to help prepare you for something great in His Kingdom and for His glory.

Take note, because the things that God reveals to you and teaches you in the midst of your trials is going to be priceless, and God may want to use you to be an encouragement to someone else later on down the road who may also be going through a similar trial.
(Refer to 2 Cor. 1:3-5)

{Don't despair. Trust God's greater plan. Let Him break you to make you whole."}
