There are times when the change does not come fast enough. Instead of the change coming, God allows the breaking to come. That’s right, God sometimes allows you to be broken. This is what happened to the psalmist.  What He went through broke Him before God. And in the state of His brokenness what was in him came out, and that was this: “I love the Lord”. He had been broken by life’s trials, life’s trouble, heartaches and pain. He had been broken by his suffering…so broken that he cried out to the Lord. But note: his suffering did not make him bitter.  What he went through did not make him hard or filled with hate. What he went through did not turn him away from God. Out of his brokenness he cried, “I love the Lord”. Remember those words.
