Christian help for aching hearts
When your heart is aching this question may well press down on your soul. Deep down you realise you will probably never know the answer to the question that is haunting you.
Two women walked by a harbour. A Christian approached and asked if they would like to take away with them a small booklet about the Lord Jesus. "Oh, I think this is a most inappropriate time." said the mother, "My son has just died, and we have come here to try to get over it." The Christian answered, "I don't think it is inappropriate. The Bible not only calls God "The God of our Salvation", but also "The God of all comfort". Those who come to know Him as their Saviour, go on to know Him as the one who comforts them in their distress."
Our friends may sympathise, our family may support, but where can we go for comfort?
Is it out of place to point people back to God when their hearts are breaking with
sorrow? If it isn't inappropriate -
