Not Broken, Not Quenched
“A bruised reed
shall he not break,
and the smoking flax
shall he not quench.”
(Isaiah 42:3)
“…There is no music in me now; there is a rift which lets out all the melody…Yet Jesus will not break me; and if He will not, then I mind little what others try to do. O sweet and compassionate Lord, I nestle down beneath Thy protection and forget my bruises!
…I perceive that though there were snuffers under the law, there were no extinguishers, and Jesus will not quench me; therefore, I am hopeful. Lord, kindle me anew and cause me to shine forth to Thy glory and to the extolling of Thy tenderness.”
