Summary: God loves broken things. Nothing makes Him happier than when we recognize just how broken we are without Him. It's not that He's an ego maniac. It's that all things are held together by Him. Brokenness realizes that we can't impress God with our knowledge -- He is all-knowing. We can't impress Him with our power -- He is all-powerful. We can't impress Him with our wealth and posessions -- He owns it all. We can't even impress Him with our religion -- He is the Holy One. We can't impress Him at all, because apart from Him we are broken. Our brokenness isn't the kind that is fixed with a touch. We have the kind of brokenness that comes from missing a part. God is the missing piece in our broken lives. We need Him. And we need Him far more than we realize.
