The Calvary Road....

Brokenness-
...our wills must be broken to His will.  To be broken is the beginning of revival.  
It is painful, it is humiliating, but it is the only way.  It is being 
"Not I, but Christ,"... The Lord Jesus cannot live in us fully and reveal Himself through us until the proud self within us is broken.  This simply means that the hard unyielding self which justifies itself, wants its own way, stands up for it's rights, and seeks its own glory, at last bows its head to God's will, admits its wrong, gives up its own way to Jesus, surrenders its rights and discards its own glory- that the Lord Jesus might have all and be all.  In other words, it is dying to self and self-attitudes......
 But dying to self is not a thing we do once for all.  There may be an initial dying when God first shows these things, but ever after it will be a constant dying, for only so can the Lord Jesus be revealed constantly through us.  All day long the choice will be before us in a  thousand ways.  It will mean no plans, no time, no money,  no pleasure of our own.  It will mean a constant yielding to those around us, for our yieldednesss to God is measured by our yieldedness to man.  Every humiliation, everyone who tries and vexes us, is God's way of breaking us, so that there is a yet deeper channel in  us for the Life of Christ.
You see, the only life that pleases God and that can be victorious is His life - never our life, no matter how hard we try.  But inasmuch as our self-centered life is the exact opposite of His, we can never be filled with His life unless we are prepared for God to bring our life constantly to death.  And in that we must co-operate by our moral choice.

This is from the book The Calvary Road by Roy Hession.  If you haven't read it I encourage you to do so.... 
The Calvary Road can be a very painful journey to walk....our flesh fights us each step of the way...yet we do not walk it alone... Jesus is right there with us.  And when we allow Him to take our hand and gently lead us to the cross, we die to ourselves and live in Him.  His life in us is far more than we could ever imagine or hope for ourselves.... and in doing so we please God.
Oh, how I long to please God....... Father, forgive me.... you are giving me the blessing and opportunity for brokenness.... even though it is painful Lord, it is good.... help me to die to myself and yield to You.  Your will, Your way, Your timing...  May You be glorified and may You be pleased..... Have Thine Own Way Lord.... Have Thine Own Way....
