Brokenness Leading To Strength

Brokenness leading to strength is recognizing your own imperfections and vulnerabilities which allows for greater self-awareness, a deeper dependence on God, and an increased compassion for others which ultimately leads to a more authentic and purposeful life.

It involves a humble surrender of pride, a transformation from self-reliance to reliance on divine grace, and a shift from despair to growth and healing.

To make this happen I think you need to want to change -really change. Want it so bad your teeth ache.

It’s all about surrender and humility. Having recognition of your personal limitations and surrendering those things to God.

Choosing to have a different perspective on life that offers mercy, love, and provision. A perspective to foster a deeper dependence on God.

It’s a process of acknowledging your own weaknesses, failures, and addictions that leads to an honest understanding of yourself. It can be a long and painful process, but if you don’t give up it can lead to a full and peaceful life.

Through brokenness, you can allow God to work, bringing healing, recovery, and the power to overcome past hurts.

When we have a godly sorrow instead of a worldly sorrow we can rise from, a brokenness that can lead to true repentance and a life that leads us out of worldly sorrow that only leads to despair and spiritual death.

I spent too many years in worldly sorrow, blaming God for my brokenness. But, what I didn’t recognize was that God sometimes uses brokenness to deepen our understanding of who Jesus is. When I realized this I knew I had to allow Him into my heart (and soul) I didn’t just have to gain a new perspective of His mercy and provision, but I had to learn to depend on Him. To develop a more complete comprehension of who I was.

Experiencing suffering and brokenness helped me to cultivate empathy and compassion and a deep understanding of the way others struggle.

Many years ago someone prophesied over me, that I would become a bridge for others. Since then I have tried to be that bridge to help others through their struggles. A bridge that leads others to hope, love, and mercy. A bridge that offers blessings instead of insults.
