A lack of brokenness causes a person who is used by God to become proud and arrogant. However, when a man is broken , his heart resist pride. Therefore, he can b used to a greater degree by God. Praylessness is a key sign of lack of brokenness before God. God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble. ( James 4:6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time ( 1 Peter 5:5-6) If we are broken and contrite before God, He gives us more and more grace. Success is based on the grace of God. How do we get more grace from God? We get it by being broken in humility before God. Grace grants us ultimate success. ( Psalms 31:12; Matt 21:42-44) Jesus actually commands us to " Fall on the rock and broken. The breaking is not to destroy us but to shape us into a form that can be properly used for the purposes of God. If we resist the purpose of God, the result is crushing, or being good for nothing in God's eternal purpose. WALKING IN BROKENNESS DOES NOT MEAN WALKING IN FAILUE OR POOR SELF IMAGE. What is humility?
