Broken and Contrite

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
If you have ever experienced heartbreak in the past or are currently going through it, then you are far from alone.
Jesus Himself is very familiar with heartbreak.
He had to bear the weight of sin itself on His shoulders and watch as the ones who pledged their allegiance and love, turned their back on Him.
Jesus experienced the ultimate betrayal and the complete depth of what it means to be heartbroken.
Jesus experienced anguish so deep that scripture tells us that He “sweat drops of blood” in the garden of Gethsemane.
If you’re experiencing heartbreak, make an intentional decision to enter into the Lord’s presence!
There, you can take the broken pieces of your heart and lay them down at his feet.
Pour out your heart to Him and tell Him everything.
In the midst of your pain, you will find Him.
Out of everyone you will meet in this life, Jesus is the only one who understands you perfectly.
He not only knows everything about you, but He also knows how to heal you.
Take comfort in the Holy Comforter himself, and listen to what He has to say.
Remember, God loves you beyond your comprehension. He has seen all you’ve gone through, not even the smallest detail has escaped His notice!
You are cherished, desired, seen, heard, and loved by the Father!
“Heavenly Father, thank you for healing my broken heart and piecing me back together again for your glory. Thank you that you understand me perfectly and know how to heal me. I love you and choose to take refuge in you! Amen.”
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
