Nigh to the Broken Heart

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

4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Psalm 34: 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Psalm 51: 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

2 Corinthians 3: 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Romans 8: 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Within this Christian Journey, there are moments of brokenness and sorrows; but be of good cheer–they too have a purpose in our transformation.  We are never forsaken by God once we have accepted Christ as our Savior.  He stands very near to comfort us in our brokenness and yes, He is Sovereign over all the earth and wrapped deep within what we momentarily perceive to be sorrow is a gift of love that will draw us ever closer to Him where true Joy is found.  We are being transformed into the image of Christ so that we may truly understand and share in the love, joy, peace, and glory that is in Him.  This is a treasure beyond any treasure so do not lose heart along this journey and know He is right there beside you, upholding you and comforting you.  He who calleth every star by name also knows your name and loves you.  For those of you who do not know Him, know that He provided for you a way of salvation in Christ’s death on the cross. He wants to hold you, guide you and give you the love your heart longs for.   I urge you to seek Him. 

I hope you enjoy this song

The Master Weaver

Broken threads my life you found

And with your love each piece you bound

A song of love your lips resound

With gentle hands, each thread you place

Oh could it be, amazing grace

A picture clear, my Savior’s face

What joy divine, could it be true

Each broken thread, you only knew

When woven tight would look like you

The Scarlet threads my broken heart

The deepest sorrows blue impart

Each silver thread of tears that fell

You guide my life with such detail

A brilliant gold, your love divine

My sins were washed, a white sublime

You gently weave with skillful hand

The portrait mine that you have planned

Oh, let me Lord remember this

That I might know with joy and bliss

You did ordain my every tear

That I might learn to never fear

That I might trust the weaver’s hand

And on this hope and promise stand

Your love will always know what’s best

Your cradling arms are where I rest

Broken threads my life you found

And with your love each piece you bound

A song of love your lips resound

With gentle hands, each thread you place

Oh could it be, amazing grace

A picture clear, my Savior’s face

What joy divine, could it be true

Each broken thread, you only knew

When woven tight would look like you
