Brokenhearted

Brokenhearted. Heart split in two, three, four, five, shattered into a million pieces. 

We find ourselves brokenhearted because we face both pain and shame in this life. We are born into a broken world - a world full of sin. So we come broken before an Almighty God. Knees on the ground and head held low. We come needing to be put back together. Needing to be put back together for the times we fail in life, for the times we mess up and fall, for the times we slip and even for the times when we intentionally stray from God's will. Needing to be put back together for the things that are out of our control. Needing to be put back together from things like break ups, disappointments, arguments and the loss of a loved one.

Psalm 34:18 says "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit." and Psalm 147:3 says "He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds."


The line "without You holding my heart I'm falling apart" from Royal Tailor's song Hold Me Together is such a beautiful picture of us in God's hands. (full lyrics) It's speaks so clearly of the restoration of the broken hearted.

So we come before the Lord with our broken hearts and he puts the shattered pieces back together making us whole again.

Today I'm reminded to let God hold my heart.
