The Lord Gives JOY to the Brokenhearted



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  You know you can drink it even when you’re sad, don’t you?

            God knows that there will be times in our lives that we truly are heartbroken….especially when we lose someone we love!  And He feels our every hurt because He loves us.  Listen to the comforting words of Psalm 34:18:  “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

            Do you feel crushed in spirit today?  Has an unexpected heartbreak turned your life upside down?  Do you find yourself shedding tears often?  Please know that God does understand.  He gave His only Son to die for you!  He knows about suffering. But the encouraging truth is that He doesn’t leave us to go through those difficult times alone.  He is close!

            Call out to Him today.  Even if you’ve not prayed in a while, He is always ready to listen.  Tell Him how much you need Him; ask Him to make His presence known to you in a very real way.  He truly desires to embrace you in his loving arms and comfort you.  That peace that passes all understanding is yours for the asking. Even though it may look as if things are all out of control, just remember that nothing catches God by surprise. Accept Him into your life today and you receive the gift of peace and JOY…beyond measure!

            Remember: You can always drink in God's JOY JUICE regardless of your circumstances.
