“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18 NLT
How does he know? I love the nearness of Famous, when he lies at my feet or jumps in my lap while I try to tie my shoes. But how does he know when I have had a hard day that I need him nearby? How does he know to keep a watch on me and settle where I sit?
Why is God close to the brokenhearted? I believe it is because they are the ones, whether they know God is available to them or not, who have realized they are vulnerable to suffering and loss. People who cannot admit they need the Lord cannot be open to his healing and his love.
Break my heart so that it may be filled with eternal love that only You can give.
