Please see our URGENT message this Season!! "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Psalm 147:3 " He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. " Psalm 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." The Lord is close to those who are broken hearted and crushed in their spirit. There are many experiences in life that can break our hearts such as disappointments, deaths , hurts , failures ,missed opportunities, loss etc. At such times we may be lonely and feel forsaken by others. But the wonderful promise is that the Lord is close to us at such times. Psalm 51:17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. " The Lord heals our broken hearts and wants us to minister to others who are going through the same experience in their lives. Whenever we go through an experience of brokenness in our lives , we are in an unique position to be used by the Lord to minister healing and restoration to the broken hearted . Psalm 23:3 - He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. We must allow the Lord to heal our wounds and then we can use that healing experience to reach out to others and enable them to experience the same healing in their lives. Instead of mourning over our heart breaking experiences , we must see the possibility of using them to become a channel of healing to others. Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. John 12:24 " I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. " It is God who desires that our souls are restored, and that we walk in right living with Him and others. He does His work of restoration in a person’s life as proof of His ever-loving character to us. The best thing that we can do is to join Him in this daily work. Rom 12:2 – And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. I Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." The Lord is seated on the throne of Grace with a heart of compassion towards us because He can sympathize with all our weaknesses. We can always approach Him confidently in our many times of brokenness because He understands us and sympathizes with our weaknesses and He is ready to shower His grace and mercy upon us. Hebrews 4:15-16 " For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. "
