The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He heals, comforts and saves them!

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3 NIV)

He wipes away their tears

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:4 NIV)

He is close to them

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18 NIV)

He is the strength of their heart

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:26 NIV)

He blesses and comforts them

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matt. 5:4 NIV)

He comforts us so we can comfort others

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Cor. 1:3-4 ESV)

He walks with us

“Often we say that Christ will meet us on the other side. That is true, of course, but misleading. Let us never forget that He walks with us on this side of the curtain and then guides us through the opening. We will meet Him there, because we have met Him here.” – Erwin Lutzer
