Broken Hearts

"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted" (portion of Isaiah 61:1)

Oh, what we learn from our children! This one will be short and sweet, but I hope that it is as powerful to you as it was to me.

The boys and I were in the car last night and I have no idea what prompted Everett (4) to say to Hagan(5), "Well, I will just get your heart and break it in two!" Hagan responded, "Nope! You can't do that because God, Jesus and the Angels live there and they won't let that happen." "WOW! I thought." Everett then said, "What if I just SQUEEEEEEZE it really, really tightly?" Hagan's response, "You can do that but it won't ever stay broken because if it does God, Jesus and the Angels will put it back together. That is just what they do." Not only was this my second "wow" moment but it prompted me to remember that no matter what breaks our hearts, our freedom comes in remembering that God, Jesus and the Angels can heal those hurt or broken hearts if we allow them to take up residence there. What is breaking or has broken your heart today? Won't you put it in the healing hands of our Lord and allow Him to bind it up?

Have a day full of blessings.
