Sometimes in life, God has to break you to humble you and bring you to a place where you can hear and follow Him. When He does this, it is not to destroy or hurt you; but He does it with grace to position and promote you into His purpose for you. This process of breaking forces us to confront issues about ourselves that we would rather avoid. And it can be hard on our flesh and touch every aspect of our lives.
