A Daily Devotional About
investing your hurting heart in Jesus: John 17:24 "Father, I want those
you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you
have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. (NIV) God is not the source of your pain, hurt, or heartbreak. Jesus will not hurt you. Jesus did not come into the world to hurt, but to heal. In Jesus, you can trust, you can hope, and you can believe. In Jesus, you are safe and saved if you accept Him into your heart. As you make the first gestures of reaching out and wrapping your heart around Him, He begins to work to heal your hurt. Your work of investing your hurting heart in Him is the most critical and challenging work of your life. Investing your hurting heart in Him is what He wants you to do. He wants you to push your hurt on to Him by investing your total self and total life in Him�especially when you hurt. If you invest your total self in Him, if you push all you are over to Him, He will lighten your burden. When you go to Christ with a hurting heart, miracles do happen. Remember Christ is already within you. He is living and alive in you this minute no matter how much you hurt. The hurt and darkness you can feel pushes your attention away from Christ's love, even though His love is alive within you all the time. Your hurt is real, but whatever emptiness and aloneness you feel is a deception because you are never isolated. No matter how much you hurt, you are never, ever, ever alone because Jesus is always with you. |
