Jim's Devotional - November 14

Jesus next dealt with “healing the brokenhearted.” The Greek word Jesus used for brokenhearted was actually a phrase that meant to “fill in the gap.” In other words, whatever has caused us to be brokenhearted, Jesus will fill in that gap.

Many experiences can cause us to be brokenhearted. Loss, disappointment, unfulfilled expectations, etc. The good news is, a consistent, thriving relationship with Jesus will heal or fill in that gap; that place that should be there to take away the disappointment.

Talk to Him. Tell Him your fears. Tell Him your disappointments. Talk to Him about your anger. He won’t “fall off the throne” and He won’t stop loving you. It is only by facing head on the cause of broken heartedness that we can be healed. Go ahead, throw something, yell something, get it all out. When we are empty, Jesus will fill us.
