HIS BROKEN HEART

“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Psalm 34:18 KJV

Marvin P. Dalton wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “O What A Savior” about the heart of our precious Saviour being broken.  Yes, Jesus understands when our heart is breaking and He knows how it hurts.  Think about it!  The KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS loves us so much that He died for our sins.

Jesus could have come down from the cross.  All the nails in the world couldn’t have kept Him on the cross had He chosen to come down but He stayed on the cross and suffered anguish and an excruciating pain that you and I will never know because He loves us so much.

What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  Nobody loves us like Jesus loves us and nobody ever will.  All hail King Jesus!  Worthy is the Lamb of God!  Do you understand how much Jesus loves you?  Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that He loves you?

One joyous happy day our precious Saviour is coming back for us.  We will see Him face to face and will be with Him for all eternity.  Esther Kerr Rusthoi wrote the beautiful hymn “It Will Be Worth It All”.  I love these words in this hymn “It will be worth it all when we see Jesus”.  It really will be worth it all.
