But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply. But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

No one enjoys the pain of brokenness. But God doesn't break us to cause undue pain. He breaks us because he loves us. He breaks us to bless us. God chips away at anything in our lives that prevents us from finding our true purpose and love for him. If you are going through a season of brokenness, know that God is working things together for your good.
