My heart, or lack thereof.
"If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitide, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad."
Lately brokenness has been the theme of my life's song...it encompasses a plethora of things... I try to embrace it, despite my fleshy side's normal reaction, which is to run from it, deny it, and cover it up. Don't let me fool you, don't let it sound like something enviable. It's mostly painful, not very desirable. Some days I just haven't been able (wanted) to do it. But here I am.
And I found that quote today, and it really expresses a characteristic of my heart for brokeness--that God might use me as He wills beyond the momentary pain and earthly shame of being and becoming a broken person. Wholeness is in Christ alone. That means that the real us, if ever we are to humble ourselves to embrace it, truly is and will always be completely broken.
