A Broke Heart: Revelation Through the Eyes of a Horse into the Heart of God
()
About this ebook
To me, horses resemble the Word of God in that they are active and living. New discoveries are waiting to be made every day. There is always more to learn because neither is robotic. Each offers a fresh inspiration that evokes us to change and grow. Both are a pillar of strength but have a softness and tenderness that demands our trust.
By opening this book, you can come along with me to my horse pens, even if its only through words on a page. I want you to step into the round-pen with me and receive the revelation God has given me through these amazing creatures. He created them in the first chapter of Genesis at the beginning of time. He saved them on Noah's ark during the flood. They have carried kings and royalty, soldiers into battle, and maybe even witnessed the birth of Jesus Christ in a little stable in the town of Bethlehem more than two thousand years ago.

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. And the one sitting on the horse was named Faithful and True…and his title was the Word of God. On his robe and thigh was written the title: King of kings and Lord of lords.
Revelation 19:11,13,16 NLT
This book belongs to Him, Faithful and True, the Word of God, and the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
4.jpgPreface
A term often associated with a well-trained, gentle, reliable mount is a broke horse.
The process of taming, training, or domesticating a wild or young horse can be referred to as breaking.
It is presently more commonly referred to as starting.
However, the process of achieving a broke horse
started centuries ago when horses pulled chariots, carried soldiers into battle, and dragged heavy plows to till tough soil. In order for a horse to achieve these various tasks, someone had to take time to tame and train that horse. As a result of hours of training and lots of sweat, maybe even tears and some bloodshed, a broke horse
was produced. What an asset he was to the chariot driver, the soldier, and the farmer!
It is my desire to have a broke heart.
Not broken
but broke.
I want my heart to be trainable and teachable by the heavenly Father. I want to have a soft and willing spirit. I have days when God must see me as wild and untamed, but thank goodness for His gentleness as a trainer and teacher. I believe as long as I’m on earth, He will continue to shape and mold my heart into the broke heart
I’ll have in heaven someday.
To me, the heart of a well-trained and willing horse should resemble how our hearts should be to the Lord: willing, obedient, submitted, trusting, and respectful.

01.jpgFor the Word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.
—Hebrews 4:12
To me, horses resemble the Word of God in that they are active and living. New discoveries are waiting to be made every day. There is always more to learn because neither is robotic. Each offers a fresh inspiration that evokes us to change and grow. Each is a pillar of strength that has a softness and tenderness that demands our trust.
By opening this book, it is my prayer that you can come along with me to my horse pens, even if it’s only through words on a page. I want you to step into the round pen with me and receive the revelation God has given me through these amazing creatures. He created them at the beginning of time, as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis. He saved them upon Noah’s ark during the flood. They have carried kings and other royal members, carried soldiers into battle, and maybe even witnessed the birth of Jesus Christ in a little stable in the town of Bethlehem more than two thousand years ago.
The revelations I have the joy of sharing with you are compilations of entries from my prayer journal
