Brokenness

Feed My Lambs

How?

Be broken.

Why?

A broken spirit and a contrite heart, the Lord does not despise

What does it mean to be broken?

Humble yourselves; Rend your hearts; Surrender every desire; Realise the frailty of man, and the vastness of God.

How difficult it is to be broken. Yet the Lord provides timely reminders. Disease was one such reminder, a poor and depressed spirit - the knowledge that I could do nothing without Him - was another prick in my back. It hurt, but God fulfilled his purpose and conveyed the message.

This week was great in many ways. God blessed and gave many timely encounters with people, private time to chat up with new and old friends alike, and to delve deeper into their lives. Ding was one, Justin was one, and God will provide many more I guess. To bless and to love Jesus through loving people. That's one ministry I pray will never die. :)

Be broken. Then only can the five thousand be fed.
