A couple of months ago, I preached at church on the topic of 'Brokenness'. I used the example of Jacob who was in the right place (alone with God) where God can use him. From the struggle he had with Jesus (I sincerely believe it was Jesus he wrestled with), he was broken and injured. For the rest of his life he had to use support; he had to rely and depend on God.
God, I said on that morning service, cannot use unbroken people. Psalm 51:17 says 'The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a contrite heart. There is a song written on this verse.
Indeed, spiritual wholeness begins with a broken heart.
