IT'S TIME TO OPEN YOUR MIND

BROKENHEARTED

The Lord Jesus said in, (Luke 4:18) “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED”. The dictionary defines the BROKENHEARTED as those who are crushed by sorrow, grief or disappointment sometimes to the point of being inconsolable.

This world is filled with brokenhearted people. There is a sighing, sobbing, and sorrowing multitude in this world. A preacher once said to his students, “Preach to the brokenhearted and you will never want for an audience”. In our day we live in a broken world. Everywhere we look, things are broken. Increasingly there is broken confidence because of the uncertainty of the future and an unstable world with its unstable societies. There are broken relationships resulting in broken homes and broken lives. Hospitals are filled with broken bodies. Mental institutions are crowded with broken minds. Prisons are filled to overflowing with those who have broken laws. Dear reader, are YOU included in any of these descriptions? Are YOU among the BROKENHEARTED?

What is the cause of a broken heart? The answer is sorrow, sorrow in all its aspects. The broken heart comes from sorrow that reaches intensity beyond the limits of endurance. When this occurs we say, “The heart is broken”, broken by overwhelming sorrow. This sorrow can be the sorrow of illness, the sorrow of loneliness, the sorrow of remorse, the sorrow of sin, the sorrow of calamity or sorrow from many other things. What is the cause of YOUR sorrow?
