Brokenness

Tomorrow I am teaching the new membership class. I am really looking forward to it. We have over 20 signed up for the class. I have set up for 30. God is so good. I am learning that brokenness and dependence is the exact state that God wants you to be in. That is the state that God can bless you and trust you with His blessings. The Bible teaches us to hunger and thirst. Hunger and thirst are not pleasant feelings. In fact they are painful. Yet that is the condition God teaches us to be in. Hunger, thirst, brokenness, and dependence are words that describe the state you need to be in, in order to receive the blessings and abundance that God desires to pour out. Most people are not willing to pay the price. They want a quick and easy way to God's blessing. So many times spiritual principles are opposite of human principles. We must retrain our minds to think the way God thinks and to believe the way God believes. God desires to bless you today but you must put yourself in the position God can.
