Cracking And The Breaking

How unusual is it that in somethings cracking and breaking is something to be desired. like vintage jackets, a fashionable bag, old books, all of these things conjure in me attractiveness but I wonder in a person not so attractive or is it?  I imagine that if objects could feel they would consider this process as painful, damaging and hurtful....


I often think that life is a series of moments that often pass us by... as humans we can forget that our Creator uses all that we take as moments for his ultimate purpose.  But what about the pain of life that brings breaking, what about the dryness that comes that also brings cracking.


What happens when this combines into a season in Ones life, do we fold our cards and split or do we stand in the mist of it all and wait. 


"The Lord will fight for you, you need alone to be still"   Exodus 14:14 


Funny, that the cracking and breaking of land is ideal good and used for vineyards that actually when it looks quite distraught there is great richness to the soil. isn't it God who tells us again and again, in His word, In our inner most being that He will use whatever He wants to glorify Himself, that he will use the broken, the weak, the cracking for His kingdom.


I do not have the answers, I don't know where God is leading me in this season,  I hope while this cracking, breaking, dryness in my walk is going on, I have the heart to carry on and live a life pleasing to Him. Towards the One that loves me with a fiery love...
