BROKEN PROMISES

"I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child." Isaiah 66:13 (NLT)

Do you know that God is the healer of broken hearts? I can testify to that in my life! 

God has promised to wipe away every tear, mend our hearts and bind up our wounds (Psalm 147:3). We just need to believe it, and allow Him into our hearts. No matter how broken we may be, God is more than able to pick us up and mend our hearts. We have all been through some pain or setback in one way or another; but how blessed are we to have a heavenly Father who is ever present and ready to hold our hands through it all! Humans may fail us, but God will never break His promises to us. He will never leave us. No matter what we have been through - trauma, abuse, neglect, etc., there is nothing too big for God to take care of. Isaiah 43:2 (NLT) says, 'When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.'

When we invite God into any situation we are in, He promises to deliver us. When we surrender to Him, He doesn't leave us in the fire, but brings us out stronger than before! Job 23:10 (NLT) says, 'But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold'. Before God led me to my husband, I had previously gone through a breakup that has left me emotionally shaken. I'm forever grateful to God for holding me at that time and healing my heart. It was a process of restoration where every day I yielded to God, His Word and His spirit. 

In times of brokenness, God can also give us revelations and insights into certain things we may not have seen otherwise. It was my past experience that led me to spend more time in God's Word and birth 'Love Letters', God's promises of hope and restoration to us (also available in the bible app). In that season, I had experienced the healing power that comes from spending time with God. I discovered that for every need or situation I faced, God's Word had already made a provision for and gave an answer to every single thing! Little did I know that the Holy Spirit would inspire me to share my healing process with others too! 

JOURNAL:

Invite God in to heal you from past hurts. Take time every day with God in prayer, worship and study of His Word. What is God telling you? As you spend time with God, open your heart to receive from Him and be ready to obey Him as He leads and guides you.
