Subject: Brokeness |
Bible Note: "Brokenness is an outward manifestation and expression of the inward condition of repentance and godly sorrow. It is the ability to weep, wail, groan and moan when we are sad or in emotional pain. Brokenness is being poured out, much as the woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her tears of repentance." --Anne Murchison "Loud crying and tears are godly expressions of grief and heartache. They are not symptoms of self-pity and indulgence of the flesh. They are rather God's prescription for letting go of the flesh." --Anne Murchison "A friend once asked me, 'How do you know when you are broken? How do you know when someone else is broken?' My response to her was this. A broken person is a one who takes their struggles to the Lord and humbly grieves them. There is a genuineness, a sincerity, a simplicity about them. They are open and unpretentious. It is apparent in their tone of voice and in the softness of their physical appearance. They are easily and openly touched with the feelings others' infirmities. I am less able to describe a broken person, than I am to know when I'm in the presence of one. Jesus was the most broken person who ever walked the earth." --Anne Murchison |
