GOD IS PLEASED WITH A BROKEN HEART...

 

A broken heart is a repentant heart, sad for its sins, wanting to change its life. God approves of those who are brokenhearted and ask forgiveness for their sins.

God cannot resist a contrite and broken heart. When someone comes to God with repentance for sins, he forgives and restores. God comforts the broken heart and restores hope and joy.

the Lord is near

those with a broken heart

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

He alone heals the brokenhearted

and takes care of your wounds.

but I also dwell with the contrite

and humble in spirit,

to give new life

to the spirit of the humble

and new breath to the heart of the contrite.

may falter,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my inheritance forever.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Godly sorrow does not produce remorse, but repentance that leads to salvation, and worldly sorrow produces death. See what this godly sorrow produced in you: what dedication, what apologies, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what concern, what desire to see justice done! In all you have shown yourselves innocent in this regard.

2 Corinthians 7:10-11

all these things,

and why did they exist?"

asks the Lord.

to the humble and contrite of spirit,

who trembles at my word.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord,

it's over me,

because the Lord anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to care for those who are

with a broken heart,

and deliverance from darkness to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn and give to all who mourn in Zion

a beautiful crown instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning

and a mantle of praise

instead of depressed spirit.

they will be called

oaks of justice,

planting of the Lord,

for the manifestation of his glory.

Isaiah 61:1-3

the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed

those who cry,

for they will be comforted. Blessed are the humble,

for they shall inherit the land.
