The God also

The God also of the broken-hearted

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

The God of the Bible is the God also of the broken-hearted .

The world cares little for broken hearts. Indeed, men ofttimes break hearts by their cruelty, their falseness, their injustice, their coldness — and then move on as heedlessly as if they had trodden only on a worm!

But God cares. The broken-heartedness attracts Him. The lament of grief on earth, draws Him down from Heaven.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
