Brokenhearted?

Are you brokenhearted? Have you experienced things or events in life that have left you different emotionally since. You may not be able to point a finger to it but somehow life has never been the same since. The color of life seems duller. You seem unable to see things as clearly as you did before. Everytime you seem to be looking through fogged up glasses at everything around you.

You know what? You might just be carrying around the remants of a broken heart. Wonder how many of us are like that? You think time would heal the wounds only to find out the wounds have remained or worse, become infected. I think all these relates to me at some point or another.

It was only recently when I was watching a broadcast of a lady minister Beth Moore that I realised that I am walking around with the remants of a broken heart, both from sin and an unfruitful relationship. Much to my delight I realised that God really does care about my heart and my wellbeing.

It says in Psalm 147:3 that God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Unfortunately, many of us (myself included) walk about with open wounds and it is God's heart to bind up our wounds so that we can start healing. We do not have to go on with life suffering the pains and potential dangers of a broken heart anymore. Isaiah 61 spells out very clearly that one of the Messiah's job is to bind up the brokenhearted and to proclaim liberty to the captives (captivity being one of the symptoms of a brokenheart). So again we see how much God wants to comfort and heal the brokenhearted.

I like 1 Samuel 16:7 which shows the character of God when it say that God looks at the heart while man look at outward appearances. Imagine how much it pains God when He, Who always looks at hearts, see broken hearts everywhere. Bearing all these in mind, I want to start walking in wholeness of heart so that when God sees me, He will see a good and whole heart, not a broken one. I am sure that will please Him a lot.  ;)
