I've been reading Psalm 51 a lot lately.. I encourage readers to SKIM through it for full effect. As you do that, stop at verse 17-- where it says:
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit (ESV).
For more than a second, think about that. But not just to say you did. Really think about that. Is "broken" a description that individuals use to describe themselves? No. However, I'm sure you described someone else this past week with a related synonym (HAAATERS). May sound stupid, but BROKEN is where its at. That King David fellow? He was on to perhaps the most freeing revelation one could ever conceptualize in their finite and temporary, but often wrongly overhyped, human brain. He sought to be broken after BEING broken (Read Psalm 51 and its context to understand what that means). And its not like this dude was a 'tard. He had everything. He was like Lil' Wayne times 5.
Let me be brief. I'm broken and so was David. Thankfully, he was broken first soooo.. I can follow through the echoes of love he left us with (The Psalms). I'm no "Modern Psalmist" but... I am so... Keep reading. You may just learn something. By the way... God is good.
my nigga.
