‘‘A broken and a contrite heart God will not despise’’; in fact, God only uses broken things.
For example, Jesus took the lad’s bread and brake it; then, and only then, could it feed the crowd. The alabaster box was broken; only then could its fragrance escape and fill the house—and the world. Jesus said, ‘‘This is My body which was broken for you.’’
If such was the way the Master went, should not the servant tread it still? For in saving our lives, we not only lose them, but we lose other people’s too."
