Good Morning… I’m with my three year old grandson watching cartoons again! This time a merry go round was used so much that it had become delapidated. The floor was crooked, chips of paint were coming off, mortar was broken and it needed a new motor to get it started. Many people thought it was beyond repair since it had a terrible sound when it started up. The mayor decided it needed to be replaced with a brand new one. The merry go round was so broken down that it looked impossible to fix. However, some people felt really sad about tearing it down and decided they would try to fix it up. They got all the tools that were needed and they all pitched in to save the merry go round. Well, when they were finished it looked like new! The floor was no longer crooked and new paint and mortar were placed on it. To top it off the merry go round was given a new motor.
I began to think about how God spoke to me one day about my broken heart through the nursery rhymn of Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall and had a great fall. All the Kings horses and Kings men couldn’t put him back together again. God ended it with “Only God can!” Has your heart been broken into tiny pieces? Have you felt used and rejected by others that has caused you to feel worn out? Has your heart hardened because of the hidden pain within you? Do you feel the enemy chipping away at your peace? Are you feeling angry and resentful? Have you lost your joy? Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (curing their pains and their sorrows). “ The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:8) So….if your heart is broken into tiny pieces and you feel that God has left you….call on Him today!
He will heal your broken heart, bind up your wounds, cure your pain and sorrow and make all those crooked places straight in your life. ” I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.’ (Isaiah 45:2)
It took a lot of tools to fix the merry go round. God has His tools of love, peace and joy waiting for you. He is ready to chip away at the discouragement and give you His encouragement. The merry go round couldn’t fix itself…it needed help from the tools!
God will soften your heart in those hard places and cut through all the pain of rejection in your life. Give Him your heart and watch the Master work in ways that will amaze you!
He is waiting for you today! God loves you and so do we!
