Bible Verse of The Day – 7-16-20

Ecclesiastes 3:3 (NKJV) 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up…

When we are broken, we will often run and hide.

Broken people don’t like to be bothered. They feel ashamed because they are broken. They feel like no one understands them, and they feel like no one really cares.

It’s not true, though. Even if it might be hard to find people who care, we need to understand that God really cares.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

And for those of us that love God, He will touch our hearts at times and, if we obey, He will use us as His hands and feet to be there for the brokenhearted.

There are good people that do care. We just have to discern the ones that are sincere and not just speaking it, but are willing to take action.

Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Being around hurting or broken people is not easy, and it can be uncomfortable at times.

It’s sad to watch, and it even hurts sometimes to see people go through such pain.

It takes a special person to stick around those who are broken. You will feel their pain at times. It will disrupt your sleep at night. It will disrupt your day. It will even leave you feeling sorrowful and sad from time to time.

As we bear one another’s burdens, we will find ourselves crying with them sometimes and rejoicing with them at other times.

Romans 12:15 (NKJV) 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

As our leader, God will give us what it takes to help them through it.

Or, if we are the one that is broken, He will provide for us what we need to get past it.

Know that He is near. Don’t run away and hide. Let God heal, build us back up and save us.

Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
