The world looks for skill, talent, and beauty — but God is looking for something else entirely: an anointing that only comes through brokenness. 

In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin drives this home through David, and through the picture of a worship leader whose season of pain didn't diminish her leading but deepened it — not because of Bible school or a worship conference, but because she let God break her. Like olives crushed to release oil, like Jesus wounded for our transgressions, like the alabaster jar broken so its fragrance could fill the room, real anointing flows out of surrender to the crushing process. Your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, your classmates — they will all smell the fragrance that comes out of your brokenness. 

A tender reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted, and that the delay you're facing isn't neglect — it's Him digging deeper so the anointing can flow.
