spiritualinspiration: The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (NIV Bible) At our greatest time of need, when we feel the most alone, Father God is the closest to us. When our hearts are broken in pieces, He is very near to bring comfort and healing. We may not always feel His presence during these difficult times, but He is with us nonetheless. With a tenderness that can only come from the Father, He wants to love us back to life and wholeness. Sometimes our inaccurate perception of God will cause us to run away from Him during these seasons in our life. We fear that He might want to take advantage of our vulnerability and bring even more pain into our lives. But God is not like that. He doesn’t kick us when we are down, and He is not indifferent when we are suffering, for He is our Father. And His Father’s heart is deeply moved with compassion for us as He runs to be close to us so that He can save us when we are crushed in spirit. The Bible says in Isaiah 42:3, A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. When you are bruised and broken, be encouraged to know that your Father is near and promises to save you.
