The Beauty of Brokenness
By Joyce Meyer
There's a story about a little boy who was very poor
and needed shoes. He was standing in front of a shoe store, barefoot and
shivering with cold. A woman approached him and asked him why he was standing
there, looking through the window. He told her, "Well, ma'am, I was asking God
to give me a pair of shoes." The woman took the boy into the store, washed his
dirty, bare feet and put new socks and shoes on them. The boy was so touched by
her compassion that he asked her, "Ma'am, are you God's
wife?"
