I love eggs; boiled, fried, scrambled, etc. Any way they are cooked, I love them. But, as we all know, if we are going to scramble, fry or poach an egg, it has to be broken. We can boil an egg, without breaking it, but until we break it, it's of no use to us.
We are alot like that egg; God can't really use us until we have been broken - meaning we have allowed God to break us down, shedding layers of self. Until we get beyond ourselves, and let God mold us into His image, He can't get all the glory He deserves.
All of us will go through many different trials and storms; make choices that will bring on consequences, and be disobedient to God, which will cause us to be broken. God allows all of these things so that He may work on us, in us, and through us, in order for us to depend on Him and glorify Him.
I have personally been broken in many different areas: Spiritually, Emotionally, Financially, and Physically; I didn't want to be broken in these areas, but God has a plan and nothing we go through will be wasted. Brokeness can change us - for good!
Genesis 32: 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Jacob walked with a limp - But he was a changed man. We, too, may walk with a limp or carry scars, but God can and will use them for our good, and His Glory!
So, crack those eggs, break them, and make the best use of them - God will do the same with us. Eggs are always better when broken and so are we!
Broken & Blessed..........
