All throughout the Bible, as God’s children, we are promised favor, good plans for our future, restoration and healing. WOW, we are so blessed! But there are times, whether from our past or in the present, when our circumstances are full of great loss that we experience pain and sorrow from a broken heart. The weight of a broken heart hurts and is filled with the emotions 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. Yet in the middle of our pain and sorrow, the Lord gives us hope and promises us there will be a new day and a new beginning for those who come 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-we are never alone. He will take our pain and troubles as we learn to release, layer by layer, to Him in prayer. Gradually, as the Lord works His healing ointment of Love into our wounds, the miracle of healing begins and will continue on until we find ourselves lifted up to a place where the abundant life is discovered and embraced.
No matter how hard the circumstances or how broken our hearts, He promises to heal the wounds of every shattered heart, and bring us to a new place where His positive energy and powerful spiritual enlightenment reign and govern our lives as we live one day at a time.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrow]“(Psalm 147:3)
