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

Sometimes life deals us a bad hand. Sometimes things don’t go the way we’d like them to go. Sometimes we have to go through horrible pain due to either our own actions or through no fault of our own. I know that in my life it has been the times of great suffering when I have experienced the greatest and most transforming love of God. It’s precisely when I’m least in control that God is able to do what God wants to do…rescue me! It’s then that I can see that the love of God has nothing to do with my earning it or my goodness. It has everything to do with God freely giving it and God’s goodness. It’s only when we reach the end of our rope that we have no choice but to let go…and fall into the arms of a God Who promises to never let us go no matter how bleak the situation may appear. It’s only in those times that we can experience the saving power of a love beyond our wildest imaginations.
