Are You Sure You Want This?

Have you ever prayed for your heart to be broken?

I know, that sounds really strange…..

Why in the world, would you pray for a broken heart?

 

It was a warm, dark evening. I sat on the porch, listening to the sounds of the world, winding down from the day. As I sat there, I heard a still.small.voice.

He said to me….your heart is going to be broken. I am breaking it to make it bigger, so it can hold more love.

 

Love for everyone that you see…….

 

 

This is what I initially prayed for….to love the way that Jesus loves…..with all that He is.

But my heart can’t hold this capacity of love right now, so like the muscles in our body,

He is training my heart, by breaking it down, so it can be built up.

 

Part of me is not looking forward to feeling so much brokenness. However, there is so much sweetness, that comes from having your heart completely undone. So THANK YOU Jesus, for what I’m about to walk into….I welcome it with open arms.

 

 

 

 I say Yes and Amen to what You want to do in me and through me.
