Whom God Would Use Greatly

http://www.breakpoint.org/listingarticle.asp?ID=6063 "A famous pastor once said that nobody is fit for the pulpit who has not been broken badly in life. He's right: Only when you have been broken can you empathize with others; and only then do you recognize that only God can put you back together. Understanding costly grace, prisoners make great leaders. " Chuck Colson (from Today's Breakpoint Commentary)

Perhaps Chuck is referring to a Quote from A.W. Tozer,
"Whom God would use greatly, first He wounds deeply."
About 3 years ago Road to Emmaus began with this quote.

I am still a little broken and only a little better 'used' but I love this quote because it gives me hope that the suffering of each and every person, no matter how seemingly insignificant that person's stature, will not go for naught.

I will continue trust in a law of compensation that will someday raise up the lowly and bring down the mighty to make a straight path for God and humanity to walk upon.



even as this wonderful and broken man did in his lifetime........
