Walking in the power and divine life of God requires brokenness in the life of a believer. When something is broken, it gets tossed out because it has lost its usefulness. But for the believer, “invited brokenness” is where we will find God’s transforming power. This is the kind of brokenness that causes us to be aware of how sinful and flawed we are, and how the love of God can heal us and lead us to a life of complete dependence on Him. God wants us to come before Him without false pretence, but in complete honesty and brokenness. Just like how Mary broke the jar to release the fragrance of the anointing oil, true brokenness releases the presence of God within us to touch us and position us to reign with Christ.
