Thank you, Lord, for being CLOSE TO Us when we’re BROKENHEARTED

Today is Valentine’s Day, a day marked by exchanges of tokens of love. But what if you wake up alone? What if your loved one is deceased? What if your loved one cheated on you? What if you’ve never had someone love you? What if you’re not only alone, but you’re crushed in spirit? I find it amazing that the Bible is the most honest book we”ll ever read. Our Heavenly Father “gets it” that there will be times in our life like that, which is precisely why He wants us to know that even if we’re alone, He’s close. Even if there is no one to save or lift our crushed spirit, HE CAN. Our Heavenly Father is sending a loud and clear Valentine message that He loves us. There is nothing we have done or will do and there is no place we can go that He isn’t present. “I LOVE YOU.  I’M HERE,” our Heavenly Father calls to us, with Jesus echoing, “Me, too!”

Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for loving us and being close to us.

“The Lord is CLOSE to the BROKENHEARTED and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  Psalm 34:18
