In the worship song, "To Know Your Name," by Hillsong, there is a lyric that says "your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness." Before that was just a line in a song.
Today it has a much deeper meaning to me and my life. I want to get off center. I want to stop talking about my struggles, temptations, fears, etc. as if they are the only things in life that matter.
Because of the things I went through, I learned about the grace of God and true humility. For many years, I didn't struggle with anything. And for the last few years, I felt as though I was constantly falling.
Fallen from grace expresses how I feel now.
Mountains are great: I love when everything is going well in my life. I also know that spiritual mountains offered me a false sense of security. I thought I was immune to everything that I heard about growing up (alcoholism, sex, lust, greed, etc.)
I am not immune. Once I move away from faith and get weak, it's all over. I can't protect myself. I say with conviction that only God can protect me. His grace is enough to overwhelm what keeps me weak, what keeps me broken, what prevents from depth.
I am quoting Hillsong when I say "your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness."
I want to conclude by saying brokenness leads me straight to God. I also want to encourage you to not fear brokenness or weakness. God moves the most when we're in the valley.
