THE BROKENHEARTED

“FOR THE MORE WE SUFFER FOR CHRIST, THE MORE GOD WILL SHOWER US WITH HIS COMFORT THROUGH CHRIST. ” 2 CORINTHIANS 1:5

” I WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO TRUST IN MY NAME.” PSALM 91:14

” THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED; HE RESCUES THOSE WHOSE SPIRITS ARE CRUSHED.” PSALM 34:18

Sometimes it is necessary that we reach rock bottom in our lives in order for our witness for Christ to shine. Some appear to suffer more than others, but we must remember we all have a cross to carry. There are times in our lives, when even as we continue to be dedicated to our Lord Jesus, our situations not only do not improve but they seem to get worse. Does that mean that the Lord has forsaken us? Does that mean that there is no God who cares? Of course not! These are times where our faith and trust in him must be at its strongest. We must dig deeper into his word, pray his promise for our lives and believe without wavering that he has answered our prayers. We must be patient and know that in his timing the answers to our prayers will be manifested. When we are at our worst is when our Lord is at this best. He has a plan, and we must continue to believe! Our Lord has promised us that if we pray within his will and believe, he will answer our prayers. We must climb out of the hole that contains self-pity and a sorrowful attitude. We must begin to look at things from God’s point of view and not that of the world. We must keep in mind that what looks to be doomed in this world is a bright spot with our God in heaven. We must begin to trust God no matter his answers. His plan is perfect and ours is tremendously flawed. If we keep him as our source and go to him with ALL THINGS, then he will give us the patience we need and the peace of mind that he so graciously promises us. Build your faith, exercise your faith, trust and receive from him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
