Brokenness

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:18

It may sound crazy, but this has long been one of my favorite verses. I know... But, anyways, it is from the place of "brokenness" that the child of God is closest to God. The simple reason for this is: God cannot share His "highness" with anyone else. When you and I are willing to except that only God is exalted while we abased, He is pleased to dwell with us because our perspective of Him (and ourselves) is right.
