Can I have enough faith to say: "Thank you, Lord, for breaking my heart?"



Is it now the time for me to thank God for breaking my heart?

God spoke to me through His servant Oswald Chambers... from yesterday's devotional in My Utmost for His Highest...

"Why shouldn’t we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?"

Thank you, Lord, for breaking my heart. Now I reach for the grip of that pierced hand. Help me, Lord, to arise and shine!
