The God Who Comes Close to You - Psalms 34:18

Title: The God Who Comes Close to You

God’s heart is moved by our pain. He does not stand at a distance, but comes near to save the lost, the needy, and those in anguish.

Scripture:
Psalms 34:18 (NLT) — The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

Reflection:

  1. It is the unconditional love of the Lord.
    His compassion is not based on our worthiness, but on His own faithful character. He sees our deepest wounds and chooses love.
  2. God is aware of your suffering.
    Not a single tear goes unnoticed. In your loneliness, grief, or despair, you are fully known and completely seen by Him.
  3. God takes the initiative to be with you, to heal you, and to give you life.
    We do not have to find our way to Him; He comes to us. In our brokenness, He enters in with healing, restoration, and the gift of true life.
  4. This is the story of Christmas.
    Jesus is God coming near. He entered our world to share in our sorrows, to carry our burdens, and ultimately to save us. Christmas is the promise of Emmanuel—"God with us"—fulfilled.

Application:
Today, if you feel broken, crushed, or lost, remember: you are not alone. God is not far off. He is close. Allow yourself to receive His nearness. Turn to Him in honest prayer, trusting that He hears, He sees, and He is already reaching out to you.

A Short Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are close to the brokenhearted. I bring my pain and my need before You now. Help me to receive Your nearness, Your healing, and Your life. Thank You for Jesus, who came to save and to stay with me. In His name, Amen.
