278 - Near the Broken

Psalm 34:18 (ESV)

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted

and saves the crushed in spirit.

In this episode, we reflect on Psalm 34:18, the many examples of Jesus drawing near to the broken, and how He often uses ordinary people to remind us of His presence. From a friend’s childhood story that became a lifelong friendship to friends breaking through a roof to bring someone to Jesus, we see compassion in motion.

Jesus never overlooked the brokenhearted and He hasn’t changed. 

Whether you are the one who needs to be reminded that God is near, or you are the one reminding someone else, I hope you will be encouraged.
