A Daily Devotional

About embracing Christ when your heart is hurting:

John 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (NIV)

When your heart is hurting, wrap your arms around Christ and embrace Him. Having a wounded heart is a common experience. Your heart can be hurt by Satan and by the power of darkness. When your heart is in this pain-filled state you must act to fix your heart. Just like you would bandage a wound or cut, you must bandage your hurting heart. To bandage your heart you must take action by wrapping something around your heart. However, in supernatural terms, what Christ wants you to do is wrap your heart around Him by embracing Him. Our act of faithfulness in reaching out to Him and embracing Him when we are in pain is a higher glorification of His love than sitting and waiting on Him to serve us. When your heart is hurting, the last thing you normally want to do is take some action or to do something other than nurse the hurt. A hurting heart makes you want to stop everything. Normally, we do not want to risk any more hurt so we do not reach out to another person or to Christ. When we are in pain, we normally want Christ to touch us rather than our wanting to touch Him. However, when you are in pain, you must not just sit in your darkness. When you are in your pain, you must move toward Christ's love for you. Jesus is the Light of the world. He can mend your heart, but you must move toward Him and wrap your heart around Him so He will in turn wrap Himself around you.
