Since we are on the subject of God, I wanted to share something from the meditation book I read. Hope it brightens someone's day.

MENDED HEART
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

Few people pass through life without feeling the sting of betrayal, the loss of friendship, or the failure of important relationships. At those times, you may feel that the pain of a broken heart will cling to you for the rest of your days and that you will never be whole again. Sometimes you may even wonder if God still loves you.

God does love you, purely, simply, and unconditionally. Even if your pain is the result of your own actions. God’s love does not condemn you. It urges you forward, calling you to forgive yourself, make amends, and become a better person. His love is constant and predictable. And with the assurance of his love comes hope - hope that you will love again, trust again, offer your heart again.

My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26

Thank you, God, for the promise of your constant love and the hope it brings to my life. Amen
