“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” (Psalm 51:17)
According to Dr. McNair Wilson; “Perhaps the greatest
psychological, spiritual and medical need that all people have is the need for
hope.” (Hope for Each Day)
A broken heart can be caused by:
· Desperate
need of love
· Sin
and stupidity
· We have
a righteous indignation
· Rejection
· Disappointment
· Uncontrolled
circumstances and problems
· Unanswered
prayers, the way we wanted it to be…
· Broken
for the lost world, etc.
One of the blessings of Christians is the assurance that God knows
our hearts and He knows what’s best for us. We just have to trust His heart.
The song “Trust His heart…” is a good encouragement when our hearts are broken
due to unexplained circumstances in life.
Notice the encouraging words from the Psalmists; “18- The LORD is
nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite
spirit. 19- The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth
such as be of a contrite spirit.” (Psalm 34:18- 19 KJV)
