A Challenging Quote

This is from today's devotional in My Utmost for His Highest By Oswald Chambers:

If through a broken heart God can bring His
purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your
heart.

How many of us have the courage to pray that? And yet it seems that all those men and women through whom God chose to do great things, were willing to pay the price of their comfort and happiness. They traded that for the joy of being used of God.

Wow, what a challenging thought! What would it take for us to pray that way? A lot of self denial, that's for sure, and faith that God can and desires to use brokenness to accomplish His will in our lives that we may come to know Him!
