Jesus came for the broken hearted...Look at the Beatitudes...
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
They all aim at people that are broken, hurt, suffering, meek....
I had this little revalation the other Sunday at a Church service when I felt God more because I was feeling hurt and I was raw and real with my emotions and how I felt. Normally I find the blockage in worship and connecting with him is not dropping our crap and worshipping him for who he is and allowing him to come into our circumstance. I think of it like a fight between two people, let's say parents. If they don't both tell the truth about how they feel they aren't going to get anywhere or grow more close, more intimate.
I have had a pretty rough year this year, and looking back I have grown in my relationship with God with most in those tough times. When I was getting panic attacks at the beginning of the year I had no choice but to seek God (although this was hard sometimes because of the anxiousness but I had a plan that everytime I felt anxious or had a panic attack coming on I would quote Phillippians 4:6 to myself and let God's truth change the situation.
God is a Father and he loves us, he loves me, his heart cries out when he sees me upset or hurt and wants to come to me in my brokeness. Like a Mother or Father that sees their Child fall over and runs to them. But we must let him help us, let him love us.
I thank God that he calls sinners, the world is a judging world and it is nice to know that God seeks us! (All of us, cause we are all sinners!) And doesn't judge but loves us and through loving us we get helped out of our crap.
I only overcame anxiety because I let God, I let him love me, I cried out to him, litterally, I got on my knees and humbly told him I can't do this in my strength and that I need all of his strength and none of mine because "I give up", giving up is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength and a sign of allowing God, who is all powerful to take control of my life and put things back into order (and he did, I was healed)....
