I once heard somewhere a heart broken is merely one needing to make more room for love. It didn’t make much sense to me until I saw a visual picture. A heart closed up and sealed isn’t able to hold the things that overflow, therefore it had to be broken open to give access to those crevices where more could be fit into it.

With a new mindset I purposely ask for a heart broken. Not crushed, but kept in a place of surrender. I want to finally love others as I love myself.

Psalm 51:17 (NIV) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise
