Broken

By megaprime81

They say God can't use you
Until you've been broken;
I know what they mean,
For 'til I was broken,
I was useless

My heart and mind
Became fragmented,
Sin was winning in my life
I became unGodly
Until eventually, 
God was my sole recourse

Since I've been broken,
God is in my sight
He's always been present
Though I didn't perceive Him
In my life
But now that I've been broken,
I see Him everywhere
In all I see and hear

God has always been here,
But 'til I was broken
I was blind
Now I can see more clearly
And God controls my life

    Thank you; I'm glad that He is in control, for without His control, I was losing my mind.

    Have a great day, Sweet angel. According to the Bible, though, the faith comes from God, not from us. And yes, we do make choices and aren't mindless drones; my relationships with people had to suffer to the point that I was a broken man for me to make the right choice. Farewell, and I hope all is well for you.

    In the Bible it says the faith is not of ourselves; I lacked the faith to make a change until I was at my lowest point, relationships in tatters and ruins, from trying to do things my way. If I try to run the show, I'm going to mess it up. That's not to say that whatever talents or skills I may use (such as poetry) can't have an element of originality, but I want to praise Him for what He's done and is going to do in my life because of His power and love. Of myself, I can do nothing (but ruin things for me).

    See Ephesians 2:8 if you have a Bible handy.

    Things won't always go well. That's to be expected. Thank you, though. That's life, I love it even in the darkest of days. :) hagd
