I have a friend. He's very cool.
He's always hanging around me, encouraging me on. He's the best cheerleader you can ever find, cheering me on during the difficult times.
He's full of wisdom, analyzes every single situation with great detail and gives me excellent advise.
He's full of purpose. When I am tired of what I am doing, he comes on and remind me of the purposes.
He's full of joy. He's able to find joy in the simplest of things, teaching me valuable lessons of being contend with what I have now and at the same time, cherish and treasure valuable things before they are gone.
He's full of character. Even when tough times comes, he doesn't crack or lose his temper. He has reminded me countless of times when I have lost my temper, broke down emotionally and simply drained, that I can be a better person.
He's full of vision. Always believing in the potential of me, and everyone else, he has taught me that with the right amount of encouragement, time and belief, everyone can succeed.
He's full of love. Though I have made him angry many many times, he has not condemned or abandoned me. Though I have hung up on him many times, he keeps calling and messaging me.
He wakes up earlier than me, waits for me to wake and starts the day with excitement together with me.
This friend of mine is amazing.
His name is Jesus.
Do you know Him?

God does not need a perfect vessel to do His work. He uses a willing vessel, one that is broken.
The smell a cologne cannot be appreciated if it's not applied by the user. Only when the cologne is released, the fragrance can be appreciated by yourself, and the people around you.
Similarly, the presence and the anointing of God cannot be released if you are not broken before Him.
To be broken is to be humble, willing, and dependent on Him.
The love of God cannot be felt if you are not broken.
How would people know that God loves them if you do not humble yourself and bear with their troubles?
It is in the darkest period of times when we feel the love of God the strongest. It is in that period of time, your friends gather around you and support you. It's during that period of time, when you are all broken and humbled, crying out to God.
In the dark, all you need is a little light.
Are we being the light that shines and guides people to God during their dark periods? Or are we also blinded by the darkness?
The blind sense where they are going through their touch, or walking stick. Even they have a direction, they know where to go.
Do we know where to go when we are blinded? Do we sit down, lament and blame the circumstance, or do we sense what God is doing, where God is leading and how He is leading?
For that one sheep that strayed away, the shepherd would leave the ninety nine behind.
Isn't he afraid that the ninety nine would be scattered?
Psalms 23:1
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
For a sheep to lie down, the sheep has to feel total security and comfort. The shepherd makes the sheep lie down. The shepherd makes them comfortable, feel secure and safe.
How do you become comfortable, secure and safe? When you become broken before God, allowing Him to do a work in your life, in your attitudes.
Brokenness maybe painful, but it releases the fragrance of God that attracts people who are blind, people who are seeking for directions.
The fragrance of God gives them hope, direction and purpose.
Are you going to be the one that makes a difference in someone's life today?
