To break the leg of a poor, defenseless sheep seems almost vicious - unless you understand the shepherd's heart. Then you will realize that what seems to be cruelty is really kindness. The shepherd knows that the sheep must remain close to Him if it is to be protected from danger. So he breaks the leg - not to hurt it but to restore it.
Through our losses, He can use us for greater purposes and bring Himself greater glory.
