Are you a broken reed? Are you no longer able to make sweet music in the service of the Lord? Reflect on this scripture — A bruised reed shall he not break.
The imagery of the reed as shown in the scriptures is that of a weak or impressionable person, and is symbolic of the frailty of our human condition.
In our endurance and extenuating circumstances, understand that you are where you are for a reason and for a season!
