Rebuild What Is Broken

Psalm 147:3

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

The people of Judah and Jerusalem returned to Jerusalem and began to work on the temple. When they arrived in Jerusalem, each family voluntarily gave as much as they could for the supplies. Everyone willingly gave offerings and did not grumble, and they were giving what they had because they wanted to contribute. 

They worked as a team to rebuild the temple of God. They helped one another for the same purpose. Rebuilding something that’s been destroyed requires teamwork. Rebuilding takes hard work, patience, encouragement and sacrifice. 

Have you ever built a big aeroplane out of Lego blocks and it got knocked down and destroyed by a friend accidentally? Rebuilding it with your friend will be faster than rebuilding it by yourself.

If you want to restore a broken heart or relationship, ask God to be your teammate to work together on it. His love will heal your broken heart and His guidance will help you to fix your heart or relationship. 

Prayer

Dear God, I surrender my broken heart and my broken relationship with my family or friends. Heal me and enable me to rebuild it. I know that with You, I can do it. Amen.
