Good morning, DearHeart,

Unequaled power quells from a broken heart. Some hurts cause us to close up or hide …. but, a heart that is broken stays open. It can be a blessing beyond compare, BeautifulOne.

‘The blind see,

The lame walk,

Lepers are cleansed,

The deaf hear,

The dead are raised,

The wretched of the earth learn that God is on their side.

“Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves most blessed!” (Matthew 11:4-6 MSG)

Brokenness not only allows us to see others, it allows you and I to constantly see the very essence of our Creator. God Almighty does not appear so much in quiet, ritualistic, ceremonial places as He does in

the thunder,

and severe storms,

and mud,

and mayhem,

and broken.

He arrives in a cloud of dust, in places where others know to be most cautious. He comes skidding in sideways to a sudden stop and stands among broken shards of glass. He appears in a myriad of ways not only in moments of peaceful presence, but greater still when there is higher need for

order,

fierceness,

hope,

vitality,

strength.

Wake up.

Broken-hearted lives open wide.

Go.
