I looked at the driveway and noticed the fault line, a broken place across the width of the concrete. It's to be expected. Time and pressure takes its toll on the concrete pad. So it is in life. Time and pressures of life take their toll on our hearts.
Of course, you can hide a broken heart with a smile. Nevertheless, your wounds are still there. God knows. Who can get through this life without a broken heart at some place? Maybe no one, and many experience the broken heart again and again.
God is in the business of healing broken hearts. You may not really see your desperate need for Him until your heart is broken. Like the child who cries for his mother when injured, he needs to be held in her love. She can make it better, because he knows that she cares. May your heart never be broken, but if it is, please know that God cares.
Open your heart to God to heal the broken places of your life. He knows all about them. Ask Him for grace to truly forgive all who have hurt you. Invite the Spirit of God to bring comfort, love, and healing to your heart in the name of Jesus. The Lord loves you, and He will meet you at your broken places.
"He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds."
and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
