SELLING THE CURE FOR A BROKEN HEART
During these dark, cold nights I ponder on thoughts
kept deep within my wounded heart....
If I would know the instant cure of a broken heart,
I'll surely buy some for me and my friends. But God intended only one way to
mend a broken heart, it is His way, the Only way, the One way.1
This way does not promise an easy road, in fact He
said it comes with tribulations.2 This way might take longer than
what we expect or can even bear.3 In this way, you will be tempted
to go back and make your own way of self-reliance and self-protection, but of
course it won't lead you to the right end.4 Whatever cons this Way
might have, this is the only Way to a whole, redeemed and happy heart. In fact,
it does not just promise our hearts to be mended, it also promised to give us a
new heart.5 Its bonus is an everlasting relationship6
with the One who wipe the tears away.7
Surely, this is a good cure! But do you know what's
the best thing about it? IT IS FOR FREE!! You don't need to work and perform
best for it. You don't need to prove yourself to deserve it.8 You
just need to believe and accept the gift that is freely given to those who seek
it with all their hearts.9
Do you want to know why He cares so much for the
broken hearted like you and me? It is because HE LOVES US WITH AN EVERLASTING
LOVE.13 He is close to the broken hearted.14 He has an
everlasting covenant with us.15 He will never break it because He is
faithful to His promise.16
Try this cure and know that the Lord is GOOD!17
