Are you brokenhearted from losing a friend?

Hurting from the death of a beloved family member?

Maybe in your brokenness, you’ve lost your will to live?

Broken hearts span from the poor to the wealthy. From male to female.

If you are human, you will experience at least one but most likely many. People will hurt you. You will break your own heart due to your infidelity or backbiting. Broken hearts are inevitable.

Yet Jesus Christ is the healer of the inevitable. Consider the healing of the paralytic found in the New Testament of the Bible. You may believe that he is just a man, but look closely at this account and you will see He is more than that.

While Jesus was teaching, some people created a hole in the roof and lowered a paralytic man in front of him. Instead of immediately healing, Jesus forgives his sins. Why would the Healer look to the man’s relationship with God? Because sin had gotten between them. To Jesus, the man desired spiritual healing. The account doesn’t tell youwhy. He could’ve been angry at God or had been a complainer, but you don’t really know.

Yet Jesus saw the broken relationship and sought to heal that first. Then He proved his authority to do so removing the man’s paralysis and sending him home,

Whether it be your relationship with God or your broken heart, Jesus is more than capable to heal. Suffering under bitterness? Healed by Jesus. Lacking the capacity to forgive? Healed by Jesus. Unable to trust people? Healed by Jesus. Whatever your heart’s ailment, Jesus wants to restore you. In verse 1 of Isaiah 61, one of Jesus’ Spirit-anointed missions was “to heal the brokenhearted.”

Are you grieving today? Jesus will come alongside of you in your sorrow. Your heart isn’t too broken for him to heal. He will mend it with his power as He dries your tears.

Psalm 147:3 says, “He will heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.”

Let Jesus tend your wounds since He knows the perfect remedy whether it’s His abundant love or soothing forgiveness or his emboldening words of encouragement.

All you need to do? Invite Him to heal you.
