A broken heart

Why would God ask of us this one sacrifice?
3 Nephi 9:20 (go look it up).
It is only through a broken heart that an individual can truly be made like Christ.
Before the heart is broken it is not open. Imagine a jar that has been shut and sealed tight, but it's made of glass. How do you get inside? This is one of those jars you pass around to all your manly friends in hopes they can twist off the lid and give you access to your favorite jarred good. Just imagine that.
Once the jar is tossed and battered it will break and become open to all and everything.

Heart break opens the heart. With an open heart God can make wonderful things, the best of things.

That is why heart break can be a good thing when you put yourself in a situation where God is near.
