Day 49 - Psalm 147

Psalm 147:3 says, "he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We feel with our hearts. We love with our hearts. When our hearts are broken, we feel as if we have no purpose. The heart is our center.

The heart is the target of everything spiritual: every battle, struggle...and every joy. Every choice and every behavior I am involved in says something about my heart. It says what is important to my heart. My body always goes where my heart leads it. Yet, we do't talk about our hearts much. When I'm having a problem, I want a way to fix it and make myself better. I want my heart to feel whole.

Psalm 147 points us back to the way to heal our broken hearts. It is to place our focus solely on Christ and his love for us. Is that what gets you out of bed in the morning? The love of Christ? We all want to understand our purpose for living, and that purpose is really quite simple: it is to love with the love of Christ as he compels us to regard no one and nothing from a worldly point of view.

Everything is spiritual.

              Everything is about love.

                             Everything is about God.
