2 | how do you encourage heartbroken | Bible general Archive 1 | Centurion93438 | 21974 | ||
You might start by pointing out Psalm 69:20 which tells us; "Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none." (New International Version--NIV)....Now the word SCORN is a pretty heavy word, meaning; "an emotion involving both anger and disgust, to hold in contempt." This is no doubt some of what one feels after having been "betrayed" by her/his loved one in one form or another....also, as happens in some cases, one or the other (or both) are subjected to insults, humiliation, and made the object of the "gossip factory." You did not indicate if the you were referring to a Christian, but either way, suggest that PRAYER and FORGIVENESS is one very sure way to pull one's self up from the muck and mire and go on with their own lives with head held high. Suggest strongly that this person take his/her problem and all it's resulting feelings (depression, embarrassment, loss of self worth, thoughts of suicide, etc.), and walk with them to the foot of Jesus' Cross and allow Him to do what only He can do; MEND BROKEN HEARTS!" This also means that you may have to continue to "be there" for your friend, or even just someone whose life you find youself involved in by circumstance and have the opportunity to play a major part in by listening, and HEARING, sharing the Word of God with them, loving and caring for them and be motivated yourself by the tender stirrings of Jesus' gentle whispers as to what He wants you to do for this person. Hope this helps. Centurian.... |
