Sometimes God will allow you to be broken. God will allow you to come to your end. He will allow the rug to be snatched from under your feet. Why? Because you won’t listen to Him. You won’t trust Him. You still want to do things your way. God has to let the house fall in on you. Why? To get your attention. You are not broken enough. You are not humble enough. Your ego and pride is still in the way. Self is still in the way. God wants to bless you. Better than that, He wants to use your life. But you won’t surrender your will for His will. Listen, you are not going to win against God. You are not going to win trying to do it your way. God won’t let you win.  The best that you can do is surrender. Let go. Let old things pass away. Then let God make all things new. If you are broken, maybe, just maybe God has your attention. If you are at your end, maybe, just maybe God has your mind. If life has gone crazy on you, maybe, just maybe God can speak into you. If not, God can wait. God will allow. But why does life have to break you? Why does God have to turn your life upside down?
