Quoted in Edith Draper's "Book of Quotations for the Christian World": 14
"
The kingdom of God is a kingdom of Paradox, where through the ugly defeat of a cross, a holy God is utterly glorified. Victory comes through defeat; healing through brokenness; finding self through losing self." ~ Charles Colson
"
God will never plant the seed of his life upon the soil of a hard, unbroken spirit. He will only plant that seed where the conviction of his spirit has brought brokenness, where the soil has been watered with the tears of repentance as well as the tears of joy." ~ Alan Redpath
"
[Freedom] can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance". ~ A. W. Tozer
"
True prayer is born out of brokenness." ~ Francis J. Roberts
