The LORD is near to the brokenhearted… – Psalm 34:18

Heartbreak is a part of life as we know it. You can’t run from it, avoid it, or ignore it. What you can do is seek the presence of the Lord when you’re in it. He’s near to you there. In the tears, pain and confusion, when even your soul hurts, in a unique and special way, he’s especially near to the brokenhearted. The view is great from the peaks, but life is lived in valleys. He’s near to you there, in the valleys, in the heartbreak.

One day we’re gonna be in his presence for all eternity, free from heartbreak. Until then, we’ll rejoice when we can, stay thankful, keep looking up, and when necessary, we’ll seek his presence in the pain, knowing he’s near to the brokenhearted.
