Psalms 147:3 -- On Broken Hearts

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."
Psalms 147:3


I love that the Lord heals our broken hearts... even as he asks us to come before him with broken hearts and contrite spirits, which I think means that our hearts aren't ever going to be broken for long. More like fixing a broken bone that has healed badly, you have to break it again to get it to heal correctly. We have to sometimes get rid of all of our bad in order to make room for the good, which feels awful and empty at first, until God fills us up again. But as we come to him, he not only heals our hearts, but he fills all our emptiness much better than it has ever been filled before, because that hole is made for Him, not whatever else we were trying to fill it with. God is the solution to every hurt and lack and problem in our lives. Today, let's come unto him with our broken hearts, and find true healing.
