broken

I am currently reading "The Broken Way - A Daring Path into the Abundant Life" by Ann Voskamp.  It is a beautiful book.  She is a beautiful writer.  Here is a quote from today that really spoke to me:
"The seed breaks to give us the wheat.  The soil breaks to give us the crop, the sky breaks to give us the rain, the wheat breaks to give us the bread.  And the bread breaks to give us the feast.  There was once even an alabaster jar that broke to give Him all the glory... Never be afraid of being a broken thing.
"For a seed to come fully into its own, it must become wholly undone. The shell must break open, its insides must come out, and everything must change.  If you didn't understand what life looks like, you might mistake it for complete destruction... Brokenness can make abundance."
