Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-21

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

Losing a loved one brings up many questions.

Where are they now that we can’t feel, touch or speak to them? Are they in heaven? Are they still in the ground? Do they have a new body? Are they missing me?

Our minds want answers. We try so hard to find those answers, hoping it will bring comfort, taking away the loneliness and the pain of their absence.

Losing someone dear to us can make us stronger or it can break us for life.

Because we loved so much, it almost literally breaks our heart when they pass on or go home.

We can listen to others and try to find comfort in books, counsel, and other sources.

But beware of the mediums who will act like they can reach the dead and connect with them.

It’s all a lie and demonic in every form. They can mess you up completely and severely damage your relationship with God.

Unless we let God heal that broken, lonely heart, we will never get up and get back on our feet again. We too will die on the inside. We will still be walking and breathing, but dead to everything around us.

Getting mad at anyone, even God, will not do a bit of good.

We need to be healed. Time will help with that, but what’s most important is that we run to Him with our pain.

We need to rest in His arms, laying down all that is in us that concerns us. As we do this, He will bring healing and find a way to get us up and walking again.

The devil would love for us to blame God. He would love for us to be angry at Him and the world.

But all that will do is hurt us more, causing us to fall away from the One who can truly help us and comfort us.

He will be our best friend in such a difficult time.

If we are suffering or struggling because of our loss, there are two things to do today.

1. Acknowledge our brokenness.

2. Ask God to bring healing and get us up and walking again.

Death is part of this life here on earth.

But in Heaven there is no more death, no sorrow and no pain.

There is no loss. There is no sin and there are no struggles.

But while we are still here, our healing comes by putting one foot in front of the other and walking out each day with the Lord’s guidance.

Death happens to us all at times. Let us cry out for God’s help to get us through it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-21

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

My 86 year old Dad passed away last week. He was a strong believer in Jesus Christ!

I laid on the bed beside him and watched him take his last breath. He had liver cancer and was fading quickly.

Toward the end, he realized and said to me, after struggling to breathe, “I can’t beat it this time”.

It was sad to hear these words from him. But at the same time, I was happy for his sake. He knew it was time to go.

I said, “it’s OK Dad, you don’t have to beat it”. I said, “I love you”. And he mustered up the strength and said, “I love you too.”

He was a fighter. But the fight was over and it was time for him to rest in God’s arms. It was his time to go home.

I know many of you have lost loved ones. And you are hurting from their absence. You feel that you would do anything to have them back right now. I know this feeling.

But, remember how blessed we are to have a wonderful Heavenly Father that holds our dear ones in His arms.

It’s not like we don’t know where they are. Jesus said to the thief on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise. For that I am ever so grateful!

Luke 23:43 (NKJV) 43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

We can’t have them back. And, no, we will not interact with them here on earth again.

But God will give us peace to live on without them. And some day we will be together with them in Heaven, if we and they have put our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Today, if you suffer from the emptiness of the loss of a loved one, let God fill you with His comfort, His healing and His strength.

I’m telling you, without Him I would be so hollow. But with Him I am full.

He gives me the strength to go on. He gives me the stability to keep on keeping on through life’s difficulties.

Lean on His everlasting arms and He will give you what you need today.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-14-20

Luke 4:18 (NKJV) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

Today we’d like to speak to those who are hurting; those with a broken heart.

Maybe your heart is broken because of something that has happened in your life. Maybe it’s because you have lost someone, or are about to lose someone who is very close to you.

It’s important for us to understand that hurt comes with life. It’s part of the life that each of us lives, and probably one of the most difficult parts of it.

It can be heartbreaking to lose someone, both for the person who suffers the loss, and for the people around that person.

Losing someone can knock the wind out of us. It can make us feel like there is nothing stable under our feet, making it difficult to find solid footing.

There are no “magic words” that anyone can say that can take away the hurt and suddenly make everything better.

But in the midst of your pain, and in the midst of you trying to find a place to get your feet on solid ground again, even when you feel like you can’t go on, you can.

We can go on.

Why?

Because God is a healer of broken hearts. Nobody can heal a broken heart like He can.

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

Most of us wrestle with questions after a loss. We ask why, how, why now, what could I have done differently, etc. These are questions that we may not get the answers to.

And some questions in life can never be answered. But that should never stop us from letting God heal our heart. And it should never stop us from letting God get us back on track and moving forward again with our lives.

You see, the world keeps turning. It’s just a fact of life.

The sun rises and the sun sets. New days come. Each morning that we wake up is a new day.

So, we need to be careful that we don’t stop our life while the rest of the world keeps moving. We need to be careful not to get left behind.

We need to do whatever it takes to get moving forward again, even though it can be an extremely hard thing.

Our hearts hurt for you in your loss and your difficulties with getting past the pain and moving forward again.

We recorded a video on this topic very recently, and we’d really like you to watch it, so we can speak to you further and help you get the healing that you need.

We want to see you move forward with your life again. We want to see you healed and made whole by God’s hand and His power to fix broken hearts.

So, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch the video and let God speak to your heart.

We love you, and we hope this devotional and the video help bring healing to your broken heart.
