AN UNBROKEN SELF

“God uses broken things.

It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that sheds forth perfume. It is Jacob limping from Jabbok who has power with God and men. It is Peter weeping bitterly who returns to greater power than ever.

Just remember,— stubbornness breaks more hearts, wrecks more homes, divides more churches, fills more hospital beds and suicides’ graves than any other form of iniquity, for the root of most troubles is an unbroken self.”  Vance Havner
