Broken and made strong :)

How refreshing to know that God doesn't need me. How amazing to find that He still wants me. (I think this is from a Casting Crowns song)

Brokenness is my only strength: It forces me to put more and more trust in God. It forces me to realize how I am ever decreasing in strength and in quality when I begin to take matters, great and small, into my own hands.

Far be it from me, O LORD, in my endeavor to follow in Jesus' footsteps, to not rely wholly on You alone; No! Not even in one effort.

I love you!
