The Gift of a Broken Heart

The teaching, in one lineA broken heart is not sadness. Give it a small time each day, and stay joyful the rest.

“Is a broken heart the same as sadness? Not at all.”

Sit with it

Sadness drags a person down. A broken heart before God is precious and softens the heart.

Set aside a little time to be alone with God with a broken heart, then return to joy.

The world chases a closed fist that holds nothing. Chase only what's real.

Sadness complains. A broken heart cries like a child calling for his father.

Thought is the highest power you have. It reaches further than anything, so guard it.

Set aside time every day to calmly ask: is this worth my life?
