The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18
Yesterday we discussed the fact that we must approach God in a spirit of humility--that we must realize our true state of unrighteousness and sinfulness before Him. But we're told one other thing in this verse: that when we do approach the Lord in recognisance of our failure and lack He will be with us. God does not push us away because of our sinfulness--He is a loving and compassionate God. He is simply waiting for us to humble ourselves so that there will be room for Him. When we are broken and hurting, He is there with more compassion than we can imagine to sooth and heal.
