A BROKEN HEART


By Graham Bauer

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

I ask you:

How does a broken heart bring His purposes to pass in the world?

Jesus according to medical examination died of a broken heart.
If He did not then we would not be brother and sister in the family of God.
When our heart is broken we are in no position to demand or exercise our own desires but only those of others.
A heart broken before God is then ready for the master to use for his purpose.
He does repair the broken heart first.Psalm 126:5 says "They that sew in tears shall reap in joy" refer also to 2 Samuel 15:30, 2 Kings 20:5, Jerimiah 31:9 and Jeremiah 31:13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance both young men and old men together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow"
God will turn your situations around and make us to laugh again.
In the turning we move closer to the plan He has for our life. His dealings are not done with a slack hand but line upon line and precept upon precept we learn and change....and yes sometimes the roots of the trees must be blown out with dynamite and then when all is said and done we end up just like Isaiah 61:3 "To appoint unto them that mourn in zion,to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called trees of righteousness the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified"
The Lord would have us be like Jeremiah 17:8 "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green, and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit"
The breaking up of hard fallow ground in preparation for planting is no easy process and most unpleasant for the ground (heart) at the time but eventually the great yielding of fruit (spiritual fruit) shall be abundant for the husbandman (God)
So yes a broken heart can glorify God.

God bless and dispise not the shaping of the Lord
