Broken Jacqueline D Thompson

Living life without purpose leads to a multitude of foolish choices! Have you ever had a small pebble hit your car windshield, only to leave a small crack in it? Hardly noticeable, huh? This very tiny crack can remain unnoticeable for days, months, or even years until you hit something hard enough to shatter it. Now that it's shattered, it's a bit more noticeable and begins to look unattractive. Do you get it fixed immediately, wait a while before fixing it or wait until it finally breaks? The answer to this question can be debatable depending on the reader. Nevertheless, one or more answers can be found in this book. Why? Because it will become clear what can be expected when God sends us through a breaking process. When He needs our attention. Broken is all about my testimony of discovering the true meaning of a very powerful Bible verse: Psalm 51:17,"My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise." (Amplified) This one verse has changed my views on life. My prayer is that it will change yours too. You will discover, as you ponder the pages of this book, that life is a matter of choices (good and bad). How I lived mine emotionally drained me from the stress and anxieties of unclothing the bad ones I made. I continuously ignored a habitual cycle of duplicating mistakes, making bad decisions and choosing to stay in an, all-to-familiar, seemingly comfortable place. I got caught up, expecting a different outcome of the same life situations, never getting the lesson to be learned from the experience. The blame ultimately fell on everyone else but me, to cover up what I feared showing the most, my identity. After reading Broken one can discover that the one acceptable sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. I hope that you find the eight chapters of this book gratifying, insightful and empowering enough to embrace your own journey of being broken
