The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. — Luke 4:18
I have often been fascinated by things that are broken. If there is a broken appliance, I love to try to figure out what is broken and how to fix it. I have taken apart many different things in my lifetime to try and see if there was a way to fix it.
At times, I have been fortunate enough to figure out what is broken and repair the item. Other times, I have learned that there is not any hope for repairing the item. Perhaps the piece needed to replace is not available or I was unable to get to the area I needed to repair the item.
But what about when we are the one that is broken? When life gives us heartache and trials that break us. At times, we can feel as though we are beyond repair. Thankfully, that is not the case!
Jesus was sent to heal the broken hearted. He knows every detail of our hearts, exactly what needs to be done, and like a master physician, can heal the brokenness in your life and in mine.
Do you feel broken today? Maybe you find yourself struggling with things. Be of courage and stay strong. There is hope when you are broken! The Master is on duty and He is able to heal your brokenness!
