Broken and Contrite

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, you, God, will not despise." Psalm 51:17

Losing SELF and letting go is NOT giving up. It is laying down. It is laying down who Ego told you, YOU were and allowing God to show you, who YOU are.
He feeds the hungry. He feeds the one seeking Him.
Wigglesworth says it like this:
"If you want to grow in grace and in the life of knowledge of the grace of God, get hungry enough to be fed, be thirsty enough to cry, be broken enough you cannot have anything in the world without HE comes Himself."

Religion teaches that we must change this and/or that before we come to God.
God says, "Come to me and allow me to change you."

Religion says, "You must be qualified to be called."
God says, "I qualify the called."

Religion says we must be indoctrinated.
God says, "You must lose doctrine to see me."

God is not who Religion says He is. God is love. He does not give love. He IS love.
His only concern is His creation, His children. His sheep. He loves us as He loved Jesus. He loved us so that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for us.
Through this death, anyone, at anytime, hanging from a cliff, drowning in the water, reaching for a knife or noose, can look up and cry out and He will do as He did me. He will reach down His hand, He'll fill the heart with love and spirit with joy. He'll replace everything that was lost or broken.

There is no one, He cannot save. There is no hurt, He cannot take away. There is no wound, He cannot heal. He wants us just the way we are....broken and contrite.

"And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes.." Revelation 21:4

Isaiah said it this way, "To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61
