From The Minister's Heart

SADNESS / BROKEN HEART, WHO CAN MEND?

Sadness enters our life in many ways, and sometimes it brings a broken heart.

It enters through life challenges: as tragedies, sickness, lost of a love one, and love itself...

Who knows the heart of man except the Lord?


I Samuel 16:7

For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearence, but the Lord looketh on the heart.


Jeremiah 17:10

I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.


Psalm 34:17-18

The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all ther troubles.

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.


***The Lord knows when we are up, and he knows when we are down. He picks us up when we are down.  He is a pleasant help in time of need. He knows when we are having a blessed day, and when our day is not going well.

***God does not slumber or sleep; he watches over us day and night to protect us; because he hears our cry for help. If  it was not for his mercy and his grace where would we be, and what would we do? What would we do without his grace?

***Have I ever been down?   Yes, I have been down.

He will reach down to pick us up.  The only reason we should look down on a man is to pick him up.


Lets encourage ourselves in the Lord, as David did, and think ourselves happy, as Paul did.


Until we meet again - soon.
