Broken...Sounds Like A Blast!

At the cross You beckon me You draw me gently to my knees, and I am Lost for words, so lost in love, sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

Recently hearing this song, it suddeningly hit like a lighting strike that for some reason people got all super happy about this song. It's like they turn to their neighbor shouting, "Hey man let's go get broken!" in which the invitee states, "Yeah man, favorite thing to do!" Not meaning any disrespect to anyone who really loves this song, but we are act like being broken is such a happy time...can we get to the bottom of all this and just state: IT'S NOT FUN TO BE BROKEN! It's not fun to have people or things that you love taken away. It's not pain-free or fun to be purged of sinful things in our life. Yes it needs to be done but...it's not a fun thing to do. What does broken mean? Why are we broken? When we encounter brokenness in the Bible, many times it goes something like this:

Psalm 31:12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.

OR

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

Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. So why do we want to be broken? I had to put this post on hold for a week...because I was confused. Wouldn't it be better to be rearranged not new? And how does being broken fit in with all of this? I've come to the conclusion that being rearranged still means your the same, you haven't changed just everything is in a new location. Being new means everything about you is different from what it used to be. That's where Christ comes in... 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. If we are in Christ! Christ cleanses us so we may become a new creation! Yet we still haven't answered our question of brokenness... When we are broken, to a point of despair Christ question, "Do you understand what I have done for you?" (John 13:12)when he washed the Disciples feet can be answer honestly. No...we don't. I want to know though... I have faith that my God can renew me, fix my brokenness despite my despair. I'm still learning about this though. My thoughts on the subject is jumbled but I need to get my thoughts out. So even though I don't understand the sweetly broken part...being broken is not sweet in any form...except when I look back at my brokenness. I have faith that despite my brokeness my God can use you and I.
