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.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
