Broken Instruments
Why does God prefer broken instruments?
Maybe weak and broken people are the only ones who are humble enough to allow God to use them. They’re the only ones who can truly become God’s instrument because they know their weaknesses and brokenness, so they know they need God and they depend on God. The Gospel’s term for this is “poor in spirit.” If we want to become God’s instrument, if we want God to use us to do his work, we must become poor in spirit, humble and aware of our need for God and consequently willing to allow ourselves to be used.
