Shattered and broken; lost and dying, the girl clutches her heart. Tears cascade down her face, flowing in streams of dispare. She sinks to her knees. Her lips part to speak but silence fills the space surrounding her. She stares solemnly at her heart scattered on the floor...
Psalm 147:3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
The only one that can bring you joy in times of sorrow is Jesus. He is the cure for the damaged heart. When we let him have control he can make new all of the broken places.
Revelation 21:5
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
If you are afraid that your heart is to shattered to be fixed then remember he is able to do more than what we ask. He is the creator of man. He knows us through and through and he loves us so much that he will help us when we are in need. He will never leave us alone. He loves each and everyone of his children.
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
If you look at this scripture you will see that God can do something that exceeds the abundant. It's crazy but true. He can do it when your life is given to him.
If you want your heart to be healed and to be freed from your sorrow then you have to let God take your heart into his hands.
Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
He is our keeper.
You don't have to be afraid to rely on God. Psalm 121 is a great example of how he takes care of his own. Your heart is safe with him.
Psalm 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
He is the master at fixing things.
God has been creating things forever. Fixing your heart is not to big for God. We just have to trust in him so that he can do the work. God is the perfect gentleman. He will not force himself on you. You have to allow him into your life. If you don't allow him into the secret, dark, scary places then he won't be able to help you. It is in those places that we need light. We need him in our broken places, but he will not enter in if you close the door in his face.
I totally understand how hard it is to trust without bounds. I have a huge problem with trusting. This is one thing that has been difficult with my walk with God. (He has brought me a long way). I hid myself from him and in the process I hid from my healing. I beg you, please do not hide from God. You will get yourself into a predicament that breaks your heart even more. Trust, even when it is scary to trust. You will see your life begin to become beautiful when before, it was a pile of ashes. An example of a heart that changed to beauty from ashes is David's. David trusted God with his heart in one of the worst times of his life. He had sinned against God but he knew that God had the power to change him. He turned to God knowing that God could free him from his bondage and deliver him from the damage he had caused in his own heart. He still had to face the consequences of his sin, but he was able to find freedom in the presence of God.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
There is freedom in the presence of God.
In the presence of God we can find deliverance and freedom from our fears and hurts. We can find the power of grace in his presence.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
This is another good reason to give are hearts to God. When we let God have are hearts, we are in his presence. If his presence brings freedom then we will be free in him when we give our heart to him.
I encourage you to trust in the Lord with all your heart. Let him mend your broken pieces and change your life completely. Let him turn your life into a beautiful masterpiece. Let him hold you together and make you new.
