		<description>Your writings have touched me deeply.  I believe that I am being broken. You have helped me find hope in what feels like a hopeless life. You have helped me see a higher purpose in what feels like a drowning in an insane depression.  I do not know how to love Jesus but I feel like I need Him desperately.  He is all I have to count on.  Thank you for your truly wonderful and helpful writings.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m kind of amazed at your insight.  Jesus&#039; words are making more sense with your explanations.</description>

		<description>This breaking is so incredibly painful.
Sometimes I despise myself.
This religious spirit is so tenacious, and hateful.
How I long to be free of it.
Please pray for me.</description>

		<description>How appropriate to share this Word today April 12, and I just saw my comment that I left 6 months ago and to have you give me this same Word &quot;Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.&quot;  

Truly a blessing and a refreshing,  I&#039;M SO THANKFUL THAT THE WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.  I&#039;m going to DIRECT ALL THE BELIEVERS ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE TO YOUR SITE, EVEN THE LEGALISTIC ONES AS WELL because they need to be delivered from the bondage of legalism.</description>

		<description>My mother gave me a taste for spiritual things but since her passing last year, I have been open to others with the same drift. I&#039;ve been reading &quot;My Utmost For His Highest&quot; and these articles which seem to be similar. Also, My Baptist church pastor seems to be earnestly seeking but I know I cannot get all I need just from his sermons and books. Our sunday school class is sincere, informative into scripture and seeking but fellowship is mostly very shallow. Thank you Chip.</description>

		<description>I remember the day not long ago when the Holy Spirit spoke those words of Jesus to me, &quot;Take eat, this is my body that is broken for you&quot;...as soon as he finished speaking these words he said, &quot;You are the bread that is broken for them, you are the body that is being broken in trials, temptation and circumstances in order to bring forth the true word (bread) of life&quot;.
I can&#039;t tell you how receiving that understanding helped me to realize the &quot;working in&quot; of the word in our lives and how that word becomes flesh in us.
Just wanted to share this.</description>

		<description>Chip,
You really seem to hit the nail on the head in your articles. I can tell that you understand these principles through experience, more so than by reading.. I am not all of the way there, but have experienced your articles first hand for the most part. It is so invigorating that there is someone out there who will share these principles with others, as most mature believers that I know are so very evasive in sharing anything with others. Breaking and suffering are the main tools in the Lord&#039;s arsenal to refine us, however I know so few who understand what is going on when it is happening, so they miss out on what He is doing in their lives or they simply walk away for something better...Thanks again for the wonderful articles!!
In Christ Jesus,
J.Christopher</description>

		<description>The blessedness of brokenness.  I had no clue until - my first husband lived the life before me.  The grain of wheat has to die in order to live.  The alabaster box had to be broken so the fragrance could be poured forth.  The gold has to be tested in the fire in order to get the brilliance of the beauty.  A broken and a contrite heart He will not despise. AMEN AMEN AMEN</description>
