ARE YOU BROKENHEARTED

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.”

Psalm 28:7 KJV

Hopefully we are happy most of the time.  However there are times when we are in the middle of a crisis or have been walking through a dark valley for several days and we feel like giving up and going to bed and staying there.  Are you brokenhearted?   There is good news.  Jesus is our Strength and our Shield.

Jesus really loves us and He cares about us.  He wants us to be happy.  He also wants us to have an abundant life (John 10:10).  When we feel like giving up and going to bed and staying there, it is then that Jesus picks us up in His loving arms and carries us through the dark valleys.  O how He loves us!

Not only does Jesus care about us and love us, He also understands how we feel.  I believe there were many times when He was here on His mission that He felt like going to bed and staying there.  He knows how it feels to be rejected, ridiculed and abused.  He knows how much it hurts.

If you are hurting and brokenhearted, tell Jesus.  He will be faithful to pick you up in His loving arms and carry you until the pain goes away.  Not only will He carry you through the dark valley, He will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.  We have a loving and compassionate Saviour.
