lesson 2: brokenness.
absolute brokenness. and not merely because of the circumstances surrounding me, but also perpetuated by Watchman Nee's book, The Release of the Spirit. lessons are best seen in my post on Rebukes and Redefining Grace.
a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
- Psalm 51:17
The first requirement in God's work is a pure, not a powerful spirit. Those who neglect this, though their work may be done in power, will find it destroyed due to the lack of purity... Though they may truly possess the power of God, yet because their spirit is mixed, they are destroying what they build.... You are giving to men that which is of yourself while ministering God's Word. The LORD's Name does not suffer because of your lack of life, but because of your flow of impurities.
- Watchman Nee
believe me. ultra convicted.
but there is something about brokenness... it reminds me of Christ. He was broken.. beautifully broken... and glorious. i am weak. so weak. and it is then that He can be strong.
