I am so different from God, and so are you. We think we can't use things that are broken. But God prefers not to use things until they are. He uses broken soil to give crops; broken clouds to give rain; broken eggs to give life; broken cocoons to give flight; broken grain to give bread; broken bread to give strength. It was a broken alabaster box that gave fragrant perfume to anoint the Son of God; it was the broken Son that bought salvation for the people of God. He makes it better and beautiful through brokenness.
