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. WALK WITH DWIGHT L. MOODY "From Adam's day to ours, tears have been shed, and a wail has gone up from the brokenhearted. "And it is a mystery to me how all those broken hearts can keep away from him who has come to heal them. Jesus often looked up to heaven and sighed.

But so few are willing to receive. Let the few include you. Learn more about Once-A-Day Walk with Jesus Devotional
