Brokenness

I cannot be who God has created me to be unless I am willing for my will to be absolutely broken.  I cannot reach the world with the Gospel unless Chad Bohi is shattered under the weight of the cross.  I cannot have true fellowship in the Spirit with other believers unless my 'ego' is rubble.  I am I cannot be the husband who loves his wife like Christ loved the church unless I am willing to live crucified every moment of everyday.  My deepest heart's desire is to fall on the Rock so that what comes out of this earthen vessel is His glorious Spirit!  May God truly break into the hard shell of 'self' and may His Spirit be set free to do what He wills in and through all of us...starting with me!

Matthew 21:44
 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”


2 Corinthians 3:16–18
 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.


2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Psalm 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
