The Confidence of Our Secret Brokenness - Part 3: Faith is What Pleases God (Santosh Poonen)

Why Does God Crush Us? It brings Him pleasure (Isaiah 53:10). God delights in faith (Hebrews 11:6). Faith = “Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit” (Luke 23:46). Jesus prayed this prayer on His cross every day (John 6:38; Luke 22:42). This is perfect faith (Hebrews 12:1-4)! This is our hope (I John 3:1-3). Who Does God Use? God isn't some desperate employer waiting for anybody to come work for Him. He would rather not build His church at all, than use gifted workers who are unbroken. But, if you are brokenhearted, nothing can overpower you, because God is with you (Psalm 34:18)!
