He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

Fixers

I am into fixing things. If something breaks, get out the scotch tape, superglue, or bandaids. I come from a long line of fixers. We all knew my dad could fix anthing, from a picture frame that fell apart to a table leg that had broken. All you had to do was take it to him and you knew he would get it fixed and back to you.

My husband is a fixer, too. Our granddaughter says emphatically, when something like a flat tire on her bike needs fixing, or a splinter in her finger, "Go to PopPop. He can fix that."

There are some things we just cannot fix, though, no matter how hard we try. We cannot fix broken hearts. That is a real tough one, but not too hard for our God.

Luke 1:37 tells us, "nothing is impossible with God". The Lord himself said, "with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26)

When we take our broken hearts to the healer, the One who created our hearts, we can have them fixed. The only real fix for a broken heart is the Lord….His mercy, His kindness, His gentleness, and most of all His loving presence. He is not only the ultimate creator, He is the ultimate fixer.

That is good news.
