Psalm 34:19
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.

We hate to fail. We are taught from childhood to win, win, win…at all costs. We must defeat the opposition. But Jesus says to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus says to love your enemies! Jesus says that instead of winning…your objective in life should be to extend love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. When we become the so-called loser, the outcast, the one who is suffering…we know that Christ is near to us because those are the people that He spent His time with. When we are at the end of our ropes…it is the place where God is waiting to embrace us. This is where we let go of our agendas and allow God to begin transforming us and taking us to greater heights than we could ever imagine!
