And I remember...
The Lord is near the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18 ESV
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3 ESV
Jesus majors in broken... He says...
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of prison to those who are bound...
Isaiah 61:1 ESV
Brokenness longs for good news... and the Good News is good... when we embrace our brokenness...
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. ..."
---Jesus
Matthew 5:3-6 ESV
So is it possible... to receive that which breaks us... as a blessing...?
Can we believe He is the One who works all things for good in the lives of those who love Him...?
Do you love Him enough to trust Him... with the pain He allows...?
Are you willing... to walk with Him... through this world... remembering it is not your home...?
Can you trust Him... to provide the strength... to hold you together...?
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
Psalm 84:5
Lord... in brokenness... I choose to trust You... Your plan...
Your purpose... Your grace... mercy... and love...
But we have this treasure in jars of clay,
so show that the surpassing power belongs to God
and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:7 ESV
