In life, there are many things that can break the human spirit. Grief, money problems, depression, or just anything that would get a person down. But brokeness can lead to such joy. God is there whenever we are broken. He sees your need. He knows how you feel. He felt the same emotions when Christ was on earth and died for our sins. Nothing that you are going through or will go through will go not unnoticed by God.
In today's world, there is so much tragedy. People losing their jobs due to the economic downturn. Those that can't afford to feed their families due to this hardship. It can get a person down. I remember a time in my own life that I didn't have a car and had to rely on public transportation. It was one bus to drop off my daughter at daycare and another to go to work. Two hours each way. But the one day it rained was the day we danced in the rain, giving away our umbrella to someone without getting off the bus. There can be joy in your life due to God saving you. Even though you may endure hardship, the joy doesn't disappear. Once God is in your heart, you don't rely as much on your own emotion to say how you feel, but rather depend on how God makes you feel. His joy can replace your sorrow. His fulfillment can be your sufficiency. His provision can be enough.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18 NIV)
A bluff overlooking a snowy valley.
