The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart Psalm 34:18 (NKJV)
And bids each of us to lay down our fears and worries at His feet of Grace.
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:9-10 (NKJV)
To every one whose heart is broken and to every one whose heart is filled with fear; I bid you to come, seek and find the one who loves you with an everlasting love. He will never forsake you or leave you. You can come just as you are to His Throne of Grace. He loves you and He is calling you to come and accept His gift of salvation. Below is a poem I wrote last year. I have known brokenness, fear and sorrow; yet, out of it all I have found sweet peace, hope, love and joy in God, alone. He is my greatest treasure. I am so grateful that He chose to love someone like me, who through my failures came to see His Grace was sufficient. I pray you read this song I wrote and let it lead you near to God.
God’s Song of Love
I fell before your precious throne
With broken heart so all alone
My tears were falling like the rain
And then I heard this sweet refrain
Chorus
I have loved you before the dawn of time
Desired to give my joy sublime
My love held tight
By my own might
Come, dear child, I’ll hold you near
Wrapped in my love there is no fear
Cradled tight within my arms
Safely kept from this world’s harms
I’ll sing my song of love for you
Your hope and joy I will renew
Amazed by grace, my hope did grow
Enlightened heart his love doth know
All fear now gone, I rise to run
For I am God’s dear precious one
As He sang
Chorus:
I have loved you before the dawn of time
Desired to give my joy sublime
My love held tight
By my own might
Come, dear child, I’ll hold you near
Wrapped in my love there is no fear
Cradled tight within my arms
Safely kept from this world’s harms
I’ll sing my song of love for you
Your hope and joy I will renew
So, as I walk this journey here
I’ll love and live without the fear
For I will stand with faith so strong
Because for me He sings this song
Chorus:
I have loved you before the dawn of time
Desired to give my joy sublime
My love held tight
By my own might
Come, dear child, I’ll hold you near
Wrapped in my love there is no fear
Cradled tight within my arms
Safely kept from this world’s harms
I’ll sing my song of love for you
Your hope and joy I will renew
