WHEN GOD’S HEART BROKE

Genesis 6:6 NLT So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.

Have you ever felt broken hearted? When something couldn’t be fixed or maybe when a relationship you thought was forever crumbled into dust before your eyes?

So many things can cause heartbreak but whatever caused it, God understands it because His heart was broken by mankind and their wickedness. He knows what it’s like, and yet the love of God remained steadfast because He is a faithful God and He already had a plan to rescue those who wanted to be rescued.

God also has a plan to rescue each one of us when our hearts are broken. Very often we want to ask why when something goes wrong, but God didn’t need to ask why when He saw the people He’d made turn against Him. He already knew what would happen before He made the world and yet it still broke His heart.

But He found one righteous man - Noah! A man who didn’t compromise, and he found favour in the eyes of the Lord. He didn’t know it could rain and didn’t even live near water, but simply obeyed the Lord’s instructions to build an ark and fulfilled God’s plan and purpose for planet earth in his lifetime.

So take heart today if anything has broken your heart, God understands how you feel, but He has a plan to turn it around for your good. He gave us rainbows to remind us His promises are true, His power is limitless and His love is forever.

Your turn around is on its way, so just do whatever God says and He will enable you to stay afloat above the floods that may come, and give God all the glory. In Jesus name. Amen.
