Are you brokenhearted?


Psalm 147: 3 (AMP)
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].”

I doubt there is anybody that can heal a broken hearted person. I was a person that was truly broken hearted. The person I trusted the most was the person that broke me. Today I have forgiven that person; it took me forever to get over the pain and abuse.

People who struggle with a broken heart tend to try and cover it up. I would pretend that everything was going well when in fact my life was in total havoc. I have heard someone say you are responsible for the “look on your face.” It’s true I used to carry my heart on my sleeve. People would notice something was wrong.

It took me a very, very long time to forgive this person and it still pains me to think of the things I had to endure. My character was being molded and I was changing.

The only place I still find solace is with the LORD. I had to learn a very specific lesson, I must not allow evil to conquer me but I must stand firm in doing good even if I wanted to get even [Romans 12: 21]. I also had to learn to trust God’s love, He loves me unconditionally and He forgave me all my sins [1 John 4: 8]. Each day is a learning curve in my own life, each day I draw closer to God. Each day I want a new experience in my life, God loves me and HE is working in my life right now.
Finding out who I am in Christ is changing my perspective on God’s love for me. He loves me and has called me by my name, I belong to Him, so do you. Don’t turn away from God, turn back to Him, let Him heal your broken heart. I implore you in Jesus Christ’s name.

Prayer

Lord God, I want to pray and ask that You will heal our broken hearts, some of us are faced with truly difficult situations in our lives. Help us to draw near to You especially in our pain. Help us to focus on Your word, teaching us to forgive and know that You truly love each one of us unconditionally. Until we grasp the fact that You love us unconditionally we will struggle to become healed. Forgive us, we have little faith. Please, Holy Spirit heals our broken hearts in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
