Broken and Smoking
"A bruised reed shall He not break,
and the smoking flax shall He not quench"
(Isaiah 42:3).
Then I may reckon upon tender treatment from my LORD.
Indeed, I feel myself to be at best as weak, as pliant, as worthless as a reed. Someone said, "I don't care a rush for you"; and the speech, though unkind, was not untrue.
Alas! I am worse than a reed when it grows by the river, for that at least can hold up its head. I am bruised -- sorely, sadly bruised.
There is no music in me now; there is a rift which lets out all the melody.
Ah, me! Yet Jesus will not break me; and if He will not, then I mind little what others try to do.
O sweet and compassionate LORD, I nestle down beneath Thy protection and forget my bruises! Truly I am also fit to be likened to "the smoking flax," whose light is gone, and only its smoke remains.
I fear I am rather a nuisance than a benefit.
My fears tell me that the devil has blown out my light and left me an obnoxious smoke, and that my LORD will soon put an extinguisher upon one.
Yet I perceive that though there were snuffers under the law, there were no extinguishers, and Jesus will not quench me; therefore, I am hopeful.
LORD, kindle me anew and cause me to shine forth to Thy glory and to the extolling of Thy tenderness.

Especial request to all of you, saints of God,
please pray for me, because I have plans to move out of United States by March or April 2017,

I will appreciate very much your prayers and probably I will not be sharing for around a month if I leave, my hope is to continue as soonest I can, but the time is the Lord's and I'm trusting on his will..
Amen..
