Jesus' Invitation to the Brokenhearted

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem ... how often I have longed to gather your children together ... and you were not willing." -Matthew 23:37 (NIV) Wonder adhesives. Miracle glues. With all of our twenty-first-century know-how, you'd think we could fix anything. But science has yet to discover a product strong enough to mend a broken heart. For that you'll have to go to the Savior, who specializes in such matters. He's the one who, in the final days of his life on earth, surveyed the city of Jerusalem — and what he saw made him weep. Evangelist Dwight L. Moody offers some thoughts about the Savior's tears.

Friend to Friend

My girlfriend is caught between faith and a hard place. Even as a committed Christ-follower she struggles to believe God’s promises and feels helpless. She prays, but wonders if God hears her. She looks for a light at the end of the trial-tunnel, yet sees nothing but shadows. 

          

I think we’ve all been there at one time or another. I sure have. Are you, or is someone you love, there now? Without a doubt, God’s ways and timing are mysterious, at times even frustrating. And the things He allows into our lives can be painful. Our hurting hearts cry out, Are You even up there? Can You hear me? Do You care? Even in our darkest days, we know that God is still good, but waiting on Him can be such a difficult spiritual discipline.
