“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18. . . Tonight, my community group shared stories of how God has been faithful in our lives...and as I reflected on my experience since coming to New York, I couldn’t help but be in awe of how God poured out His Spirit to transform a hopeless, crushed, heartbroken teenager into a young woman seeking to be filled and fulfilled by the love of Christ. At the lowest point of my life, God was the only One who could see and save me, the One who drew near to my heart and spirit even in my brokenness and shame. . . It’s so easy to think of God as One who favors the joyful, the righteous, the perfect, put-together, lovable Christian. Instead, He is a Father who pursues and even carries His children who are most lost, most broken and desperate to hear His voice. . . #psalm34 #v18 #YOBL #yearofbiblicalliteracy #day59 #communitygroup #TGCEV #tgcevstcg #neartothebrokenhearted #savinggrace #Hehearsyou #seesyou #lovesyou #hillsong #worship #tomyknees #danceworship #praise #dancer #believer #seeking #Histruth #creating #expressing #breathing (at East Village, Manhattan)
