Posted late because I fell asleep last night before I posted...
I have been pondering the theme of brokenness the past several days. Are we really broken over our sin? Are we broken when we grieve God? I was listening to a sermon the other day and the preacher said that one of the reasons we are never able to change is that instead of repenting we just try and do better and reform our actions. I believe that the Bible is very clear that repentance requires brokenness. The more I think about it I wonder how many of us have ever reached the point of complete and total brokenness. At salvation we recognize our sin and realize that it separates from us God, but do we ever truly see our sin as God does? I think that when we reach that point it will be ugly and painful and will break our hearts in a way we've never been broken before. But when we do reach that point, I think our love and appreciation for our Savior and our salvation will be so much greater.
I will probably write more about this later because it's something that is very much on my mind and my heart. But those are my current ramblings on the subject...
