Notes About The Poem

When I came to the Lord in 1975, I wanted to be used
of Him in His work but; in order for that to happen,
you must!  be broken.  That is a very painful thing
but, it is necessary.  I am not sure though, that it
is a "one" time thing.

In My Brokenness

In My Brokenness

It is in my brokenness that I seek
Your face Lord as never before,
it is in my brokenness that I find You 
as I open every door in my life to You as never before.

It is through my pain that I see my God that
You allow things to happen in my life not to hurt me,
but You allow them in my life
to bring me to my knees.

And when I call upon You and Your answer comes
and You hold me now so close,
it’s in my brokenness my Wonderful Lord
that You reveal to me Your personage and love for me  the most.

In My Brokenness is more than a fitting corollary to A Broken Relationship. It paradoxically talks of women's greater appreciation of God's Care and Concern for women after their romantic losses to men.
