For the longest time, I felt that when I was weaken or broken, that I could not be useful to anybody. It took me years to learn that it is during the times when I felt absolutely weakened by circumstances in life, I was absolutely able to be used by God. In fact, I learned that we are all the most useful to God, when we are weakened and empty! See, during these times, God makes us whole and full. He fulfills us in our periods of pain! This is because it is during these times that we totally surrender to God. We have nowhere else to turn, and we have nothing left! So, as a result, we reach more for Him! And in my reaching, I found God more deeply than I ever had before."Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart".
(Jeremiah 29:12-13)
I mentioned in an earlier blog that without hurt, there can never be any healing. Let me reiterate that now. There is always a purpose for pain! God never allows pain without purpose! He uses every single thing that we endure. This is why He uses us the most in our weakened state! We must learn that we are to lay our burdens down! All of them! We must lay them at the foot of Jesus'. But, we also need to remember to leave them there! Give God all of your broken pieces, and be restored! We cannot restore ourselves! He made it so easy for us! In your weakened state, give everything to Him, and praise your way through! Let Him be God! He created you! He knows how to repair your broken pieces! Let Him take you from pieces to peace!
