“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14
“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.” Psalm 40:1-3
The following is my first attempt to write a song. I’m still learning how to use Suno, but I would like to share it with you. Comments welcomed.
🎶 YOU RESCUED ME

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted…” Isaiah 61:1 ESV
Has something happened to you that you haven’t been able to recover from? Rejection, betrayal, loss, abuse, and trauma can be almost impossible to get over. Maybe you have been praying for God to heal your heart for a long time, and even though you have forgiven, the pain still refuses to dissipate.
In church recently, it occurred to me that this promise might not be answered in our lifetime, but only after we get to Heaven. (I don’t know why this never occurred to me before.) So I emailed my pastor and asked him what he thought. This was his response:
“I do think it’s possible for a broken heart not to be healed this side of Heaven, but I don’t think that should be cause for despair or giving up hope that such a healing will happen. I not only believe—but know—that God is able to “bind up the brokenhearted and set the captive free.” Pastor Jeff
Then I went to GotQuestions.org, which I knew would give me pertinent scriptures and a Christian perspective. They said,
“God never failed one of His people when they cried out to Him, and He will not fail the heartbroken Christian who cries out to Him today. He may not always answer exactly in the way we would like, but He answers according to His perfect will and timing, and, while we are waiting for the answer, His grace is sufficient.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
David, a man after God’s own heart, suffered many heartbreaking circumstances. Each time, he recovered and became an even stronger man of God. He was no stranger to betrayal.
He writes, “If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him. But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God.” (Psalm 55:12-14).
The closer the relationship, the greater the pain of betrayal. Take comfort in this:
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Despite the pain, there is a way we can heal from betrayal. That power comes directly from God for those of us who put our hope in His unfailing love.
“…the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” Psalm 147:11
I put my hope in God’s unfailing love. Will you?
In His Love, Cindy

I have been reading through Proverbs, and I realize the importance of this treasure of wisdom. This book should be read and studied by all young people before they go away to college, maybe even before they start high school.
