CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED
Psalm 34:18
18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. (WEB)
Whatever you are going through today, the Lord is near. No matter how deep your despair, our God and Father promises to be close to you. In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:20), Jesus makes this promise to us: behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (WEB)
Sometimes it's hard to run into our Father's arms when we're hurting the most. Maybe we think He won't understand our pain, or maybe we believe He's the one who caused it. My encouragement to you today is that God is closer than you can imagine, even in the darkest times of our life.
He is extending His offer of comfort today so that we might find refuge in His strong, comforting arms. My prayer is that we all realize He is near when we are brokenhearted, and that He promises to save us when we are crushed in spirit.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. (WEB)
