Are you Brokenhearted?

 Brokenness has been on my heart here lately. Having a broken heart , well, hurts! Many of us have felt this, or are currently living in the midst of this pain. Your loved one died, your spouse left you, the dog died, you had an abortion, you've done something very wrong/illegal. All these things can lead to a broken heart. Well, what can we do to be healed and restored from this affliction? The Bible says Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. ( Isaiah 61:1) Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pain and their sorrows] People who are living with a broken heart may feel depressed, angry, or like the weight of the world is on them. This brokenness will affect their relationships with others and with God. They may lash out in anger. Or try to just ignore/pretend God or the person/thing that hurt them doesn't exist or never happened. Beloved friends, you don't have to live like that! Read and meditate on Psalms 145: 14-21. Father God IS near! For those who have called Jesus Lord and Savior, remember this; you have the Holy Spirit living inside you! The Comforter! The very same power that raised Jesus from the grave resides in you! Your body is the temple of God! The weight you're carrying can be lifted! You can be free from the anger and depression! The verse that started this ministry, Psalms 16:8, " I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand I will not be shaken". Reading on, David goes on to say, "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body will also rest secure, because You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will You let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of Life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand."( NIV) You see my friends, for those who are followers of Christ, the Maker of Heaven and Earth has promised you joy and peace and eternal rest! Yes, this verse is also speaking of eternity. When we as His children die, we won't see decay or death . Our spirit will go from our body and be with Jesus in Heaven immediately upon the last heartbeat! Give those burdens to Jesus! Forgive if it is needed. Whomever hurt you must be forgiven in order for you to be healed! Repent and seek forgiveness from God, and forgive yourself, if you've sinned or broken the law of the land. We here at Target Jesus Ministries want you to be free! We want you to live that abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10! The only way to do so is through Jesus Christ! Give Him your life and you can live in healing and freedom and peace!
