The first thing listed in what God was wanting to do for His people through Jesus that is listed in Luke 4:18 is to bind up the broken-hearted. So the next question that we have to ask ourselves is what is a broken heart?
Most of us who are adults might reflect on some shattered romance
from the past that ‘broke our hearts’ as we would say….or even pain that
we experience in our current relationships when hurtful things happen.
Perhaps we might even recall times where we were very sad and broken in
childhood or at school.
So what exactly is it about these events that made us so sad? Most
often it is rejection coming from another that cause hurt to our
identity. Rejected and discarded as not good enough, not important,
worthless or some other form of not being wanted. Non acceptance =
rejection. From this we deduce that broken heartedness is far more
common than we may have thought. In fact many if not nearly all of us
have had broken hearts at some level. The beliefs associated with
rejection are often lurking just below the surface and are ‘triggered’
when the right stressor or situation comes along. The promise of God is
ministry through the Holy Spirit to set us free from this inner problem. Listen to the Message...
