There is a custom among shepherds in Israel that existed at the time of Jesus and is still practiced today. Sometimes very early on in the life of lamb, a shepherd senses that it is going to be a congenital stray, that it will be forever drifting away from the herd. What that shepherd does then is deliberately break its leg so that he has to carry it until its leg is healed. By that time, the lamb has become so attached to the shepherd that it never strays again."
Sometimes God allows us to get hurt to get help. Here is a tough prayer to pray: if you need to hurt me to help me, so be it.
I've been broken and I know from personal experience that I heal stronger wherever I got hurt. Whenever something breaks I go back to my Maker or Re-Maker. And He does a Make Over.
