It's tough feeling this way, I don't know how to let go of the brokenness endured. I try but it always returns. Thank you for reminding me of God's love in someone like me. I look forward to viewing more inspirational messages.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770899090676365684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-71250618381316504702008-03-31T21:18:00.000-04:002008-03-31T21:18:00.000-04:00I love this.

It goes along with what a speaker said to us at a Pastor's wives retreat... there are things in our lives that need to be changed... and can be changed but before that can happen we need to be broken before the LORD and pour our brokeness out as an offering before the LORD... and allow HIM to mend our brokenness.<BR/><BR/>I really love the word picture of the bread and how you expounded on that. It must be something GOD is trying to get across to me... the same sort of message within two weeks.<BR/>LORD... break me...Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776409135985218123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-78365133182875994152008-03-27T23:07:00.000-04:002008-03-27T23:07:00.000-04:00I came over to visit from the link on Sue's blog. ...I came over to visit from the link on Sue's blog.

Without it life is empty.<BR/><BR/>Paul said he took glory in his weakness....after all when he was weak Jesus then became strong. I used to think weakness was a sign of failure. No longer... I have found weakness to be the greatest success for my walk with God. When I am weak...He is everything, life becomes about HIM.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing,<BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-45819119277549322202008-03-26T12:11:00.000-04:002008-03-26T12:11:00.000-04:00Oh, wow!

God has asked me to walk through the death of my Gram, the death of my dad, major dental work, and possible knee surgery. In all that I feel that I'm not enough as a wife, as a mom, as a friend. I just feel broken. I know I can't do this on my own. It's so assuring to think of Him making me enough.kmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659183247879049382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-1788347761491542812008-03-25T08:13:00.000-04:002008-03-25T08:13:00.000-04:00I enjoyed visiting today and I was moved by your w...I enjoyed visiting today and I was moved by your writing, this is something that will change how I look at myself thank you for the wisdom.
