God is the healer of broken hearts. If you’ve experienced hurt, you know how very deep it can be. It is comforting to know when we hurt deeply to remember that God loves deeply. His love can heal every deep hurt. He loves and cares for you, personally. I wrote this poem last Sunday after my husband spoke a message called Who Cares, about daring to care like Jesus. Hope you enjoy.
When your heart is broken, and you’re bleeding from inside
Is there anybody out there, who cares about your life?
Hurt and pain so deep, can make you run away and hide,
But the answer isn’t hiding, it’s in running to God’s side.
There’s a refuge and a fortress, that you know will see you through
He’s a God who’s always near, and He longs to care for you.
When you run to the Father, you will find His family there
Hearts and hands extended, showing love and giving care
For we once were the hurting, and God’s comfort we’ve received,
God’s grace is now upon us, to help others sense His peace.
Care is a lifeline IN the body, and what we are known for
And the care we show to others, will draw many to the Lord.
We are willing, we are able, filled up with love to share
From this family, and this body, they will know us by our care.

We can go from being the one who is broken, to the person who is helping to heal brokenness by showing love and care. II Cor 1:3,4, tells us that the same comfort we have received from God is what we get to give to others. The ones who get stuck in hurt, never take that next step and become a blessing to someone else. The reasons are varied, but let’s determine, the enemy will not win in our brokenness. God is the fixer and He wants to heal us, so we can be a blessing to somebody else.
