He is FOR…
The broken
The lonely
The abused
The bruised
The neglected
The hungry
The poor
The hopeless
The homeless
The despairing
The mourning
The forgotten
The cheated
The weary
The lame
The prodigal
The broken-hearted
The foreigner
The orphan
The widowed
The sick
….even when His very children live as if they are NOT.
Sometimes life gives us NOTHING BUT hurt….and ALL WE CAN OFFER is a broken heart. That is okay. That is acceptable….and believe it or not, it can even be an act of worship. There have been MANY days in the last 36 months that all I’ve had to offer God are tears, grief, sadness, and a broken heart…….what I’ve learned is that he NEVER turns that away.
In fact….He is closely acquainted with all of those things.
Dear reader, God never did ask you to “grin and bear it”…..don’t expect that of yourself, or others.
Just as a mother holds a child who’s hurting, and hurts alongside him, wishing she could take away those hurts and carry them herself…how much MORE does He wish we’d come to Him so He could do that very thing??
Our tears, our hurt, our grief, and our broken-hearts are accepted in His Kingdom.....
“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
