“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows]” (Psalm147:3).
We all have experienced circumstances in our lives that have broken our hearts. The weight of a broken heart hurts and is filled with the emotional wounds of fear, sadness, anger, and confusion. With our hearts carrying these heavy, negative emotions, our human nature has the tendency to fall into the abyss of self-pity, depression, or hopelessness. As we continue to experience all that negative energy, it becomes more and more difficult to resist the gloomy downward spiral of our feelings. Yes in the middle of our pain and sorrow, the Lord gives us hopes and promises us there will be a new day and a new beginning for those who will turn to Him for help and healing. He promises to heal our broken hearts, bind up our wounds, and cure our pain and sorrow.
Sometimes it is trying to have faith in God, especially when our emotional energy feels so pessimistic and downbeat. But the truth is this: He is close and feels the pain with us. He will take our pain and troubles as we release them to Him. Gradually, as the Lord works on replacing the wounds of our broken hearts with His love and joy, the miracle of healing takes place, and we are lifted up to a position where abundant life in Christ is discovered and embraced.
No matter how hard the circumstances or how broken our hearts, He promises to bring us to a new place where positive energy and spiritual enlightenment reign and govern our lives as we live one day at a time.
