Jan 07 – Broken hearted and crushed in spirit

We live in a violent society. Recently the 25th anniversary of the massacre of 14 young women at L’ecole Polytechnique was sadly observed. On December 2011 near Claresholm Alberta, Tanner Craswell, Mitch MacLean and Tabitha Stepple were murdered. Shayna Conway of PEI was seriously injured at the same time. Left behind are the families who must face crippling stress while they attempt to rebuild their lives. But while we live in this troubled world, we can draw comfort from these wonderful words from the Psalms- “The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” And Isaiah wrote prophetically of how God the Father sent Jesus “…to heal the brokenhearted… to comfort all who mourn.” A beautiful old hymn reminds us, that “No one understands like Jesus. He’s a Friend beyond compare. Meet Him at the throne of mercy, He is waiting for you there.”
