An Afghan man (L) mourns over the bodies of his sons killed in Tuesday's suicide bombing, in the city of Baghlan, north of Kabul, November 7, 2007. Afghans began three days of national mourning on Wednesday for 41 people, many of them children, killed in the country's worst suicide attack. The attack, in the relatively peaceful north of Afghanistan, shakes public confidence in the ability of the Afghan government and the 50,000 foreign troops in the country to provide security more than six years after the Taliban were ousted from power.PS:When I was reading the news just a little bit long ago,all that I found was despair everywhere...I took time to look thru these pictures and it really touched my heart to see the suffering of the afghan people in the hands of terrorists....In the hands of EVIL....I saw many pictures but this one of this father mourning his two kids spoke volumes to me...These two boys were most assuredly this man's joy and hope,may be they would greet him with hugs and kisses and words of love when he came back from work everyday,may be they loved long walks with their dad,may be they had dreams....Now these dreams are shattered...not by a bomb...but by EVIL....It made me remember the scripture that has brought so much solace to my heart whenever I suffered the loss of a loved one....it's in PSALM 147:3,and says,
"HE healeth the broken in heart,and bindeth uptheir wounds"
How much we need His Healing Touch when we are hurting inside so bad that we can literally feel that our heart breaks!!!!
Have you ever been there????I have...and I cried my way to sleep many nights amid nightmares,my soul seemed to have no rest and no comfort....I've even ask the Lord to take me home,cause I didn't know how to go on with life...BUT HE was with me right there and He HEALED my broken heart and HE DID BOUND MY WOUNDS,that I thought were mortal wounds...
I lost already all my siblings,my mother to cancer,my father recently,my best friend to a car wreck,my favourites aunt and uncle to cancer and a child...I know what pain and heart break is....BUT I can testify today to you my dear visitor and reader that JESUS HAS THE POWER TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEART and that HE will hold your hand when you fall and He will have words of hope and love when it seems nobody can comfort you.
JESUS knows you and he is with you till the end,that's what HE promised....I don't know how it is he does it BUT HE DOES....
THERE is STILL HOPE and HEALING and LOVE in JESUS'S ARMS...
IF you are hurting today and crying your way to sleep today,If you lost a loved one or have somebody you love dearly sick and ready to leave this world,I encourage you to run to JESUS'S ARMS,and IF the Only thing you can do is CRY...Just do it,cause the Bible says HE understands our tears and HE puts them in a bottle...HE knows where we are,HE knows our hearts,How we feel,and even IF we think that the only way out is ending with our lives ourselves....
HE KNOWS because he WAS THERE HIMSELF....:
"For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;but was in all points tempted like as we are,yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,that we may obtain mercy,and find grace to help in time of need"(Hebrews 4:15-16)
Our God is a MERCIFUL and loving God that is a present help in trouble...
JESUS is experienced himself in brokenheartedness...He was tempted in all manner but without sin so he can help those in trouble....
TRUST JESUS today for your COMFORT and TELL it all to HIM,cause HE IS NEAR....
As in the days of Noah....
