Broken Heart?
There are many reasons nowadays to have a broken heart - and sometimes things don't let up when you are already down.
Like being on a long stairway, going up, and people behind want you to go faster - but you can't.
"Shut up and go to work."
Maybe that's what many people hear in their minds nowadays.
There is a sack around the heart called the pericardium. When Jesus died on the cross, a soldier pierced this sack with a spear and blood and water ran out. This was proof that Jesus literally died of a broken heart.
But He rose again, lives today, and no matter what you have done, He will forgive you if you just ask. It's hard to carry burdens in life having to do with paying your bills, and it's even harder when you are carrying the past.
Jesus died of a broken heart for all of us. We all need Him & His forgiveness. And we need to ask Him for "Times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19).
Read the book of John (one chapter per day) and do that again and again. Find out who Jesus is, and ask Him for forgiveness and to be your friend.
Ask Him to give you the "True Riches."
I wrote a song called "Living Water," and it was written during a very broken time in my life. Jesus brought me through, and has been my best friend since I was 13.
If you have a broken heart, Jesus knows what it is like. Have faith in Him no matter what happens, and ask Him to help fight your battles. No one has ever loved you more than Jesus.
