Broken

Ann Voskamp, who wrote the book, "One Thousand Gifts," said, "Never be afraid of being a broken thing."  She was referring to the wisdom saying, that the seed must die to produce the fruit.  Think of how you get fresh baked bread.  The ground must be broken up (plowed) to receive the grain of seed.  Then the seed must be broken to begin to produce the wheat.  The sky has to be broken to produce the rain.  The harvested wheat must be broken to give us the bread, and finally, the bread must be broken to eat at the feast.  Being broken is very much part of becoming what we are supposed to be.  Brokenness is part of our spiritual, full development.  Are you a broken thing?  It is not the end.  You are not  failure.  You may well be on the Way.  More will be revealed.
