"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalms 34:18
Recently I feel like I have lost all hope in everything.
Rock bottom again, and I sit and wonder will I ever get ahead? Will I ever feel normal again, what is normal? Back and forth like a seesaw.
And then, when tears start filling up my eyes, tears that I've held back for so long just start flowing that I can't stop, I feel this pulling sensation in my heart, a warmth that is so familiar and I realise that Our God is close to the brokenhearted, He breaks us down so He can refine us and build us back up again into what He had planned for us all along.
Psalms 34:18 NIV
[18] The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Isn't that what hope is? Hope to be better, hope for a brighter future, hope for restoration, hope for unconditional love, hope for no more pain, hope for joy, hope for peace. I will keep on hoping for all these things - it keeps us going. My Beloved Lord gives me hope. If it feels like there's nothing else to hold onto, hold on to Him.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
[11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

King James Bible
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Hello dear elora,
This morning, I burst into tears afterwards, at my HH’s side, because I needed to snuggle up in his arms… And above all to feel that his love was still healing.
These tears were more for renewal…
I didn’t often understand the stages of my restoration… I’d done all my lessons but I wasn’t filling in the diaries, I didn’t understand the importance of doing it.
But our dear one led me to do it because I was healed of my emotions and my diary will also help to heal others.
I’m happy to do it without hurrying and I must tell you that it’s a renewal when I think of where I was and what he did.
When I look back on my life there were so many times I felt brokenhearted and yes I did feel there was no hope, but when I look back our Darling Lord was for sure next to me, giving me hope. And looking in all my broken heartedness He was drawing me closer to Him and I love that His Hope heals us and mends our hearts to use it for His glory.

Oh yes!!! In those moments when I feel completely broken and tired He always sends a miracle to strenghten me ♥️ He loves us and will come through for us all the time
I understand and have been where you are many, many times. It’s okay to feel down sometimes especially if we use it to run to Him and not away. It helps us realize how much we need Him 💖 There is hope. Our Beloved Lord gives us this hope. So hold on to Him.
