Broken Heart-Broken Chains

Some wandered in desert wastelands…
They were hungry and thirsty,
And their lives ebbed away.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way…
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
And his wonderful deeds for men,
For he satisfied the thirsty
And fills the hungry with good things.

Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom,
Prisoners suffering in iron chains.
They cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he saved them from their distress.
He brought them out of darkness…
And broke away their chains.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
And his wonderful deeds for men.
Psalm 107: 4-15

Beloved Friends,
Do you have anything in your life that binds you as chains? Fear? Unforgiveness? Anxiety? Injustice at the hands of others?

For years I wandered in the wasteland of uncertainty and unworthiness bound by countless fears.

Then I was abandoned by my husband. I faced two choices. Dig an emotional pit to protect me from all the ugliness of life, or run to my Papa God. I chose the latter. Slowly, he healed all the heart wounds. Today I shout the above verses taken from Psalm 107 for their truth! Many bad things have happened in my lifetime………..BUT!
I give thanks to my LORD, my Lover, my Friend for HIS UNFAILING LOVE!

Cry out to the LORD. Only HE can break the chains that bind us and keep us from living the full, abundant life he promises!
