Beautiful Brokenness?
How can brokenness be beautiful?
What is it God wants to break, do you suppose?
I used to think it was me. My selfish ways, my impatience, my hard heart. Instead, He revealed Himself to me as my very Life. He convinced me that I am His. That because of Him I am a new creation. That He is my peace, my patience, and my sufficiency.
What is it I want to break in my horse?
The bondage of old lies about who I am. Many of the horses here have been rescued -- like me. They come into our new relationship believing things about me that are not true -- like me about God. They operate out of misbelief and this causes them great anxiety and pain -- like me about God. I want my horse to know that my heart is good. That I am for him. That I am trustworthy.
Jesus wants me to walk in these same beliefs about Him. And He is committed to revealing Himself to me as my Life.
Now that's beautiful!
