Psa 147:3-5  He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  (4)  He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.  (5)  Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

What would happen if you were to apply the same sense of urgency to your broken heart as you would to a broken bone? What would happen if you were to go to your Bible with the same passionate response as you would to the emergency room? The Bible has a lot to say about broken hearts! Broken hearts come in different forms: a broken relationship, a death, a loss of a job, to name a few. But one thing the Christian has that the unbelieving world doesn’t have is that God is at the center of their broken heart.

The Christian finds hope and encouragement that comes as a result of reading the Bible. God hands out healing a broken heart, at no charge! He binds up the wounds like a master doctor! He takes that broken heart and pieces it back together, making it ready for the next task at hand. What I found to be a blessing is that He knows every star and calls them by name! Are you impressed yet? Furthermore, the next verse says His understanding is infinite. No matter what the cause of your broken heart is, God knows the smallest details and understands what you are going through. No one can heal better than God! There’s not a doctor, counsellor or self-help book out there that can know every detail of your health. As well, none can heal every little detail!

If you are not encouraged yet, read the following verses that the Lord placed in His Word just for you!

Psa 34:18  The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

1Pe 5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Isa 61:1  The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Mat 11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

The Lord’s healing can be found in the pages of your Bible, but you have to make the effort to pick up that Bible and read it! Let God’s Word cultivate your heart like a good gardener would. Let Him mold and shape your broken heart into a heart that whole and healed.
