Honey Drop 46: The Nearness That Saves

eejoseph,

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

The ache that attracts Him

The heart is broken. 
The spirit is crushed. 
And God— 
God draws near.

Not to fix first. 
Not to explain. 
But to be present.

The prison – the open door

This is not escape. 
It is proximity. 
Not the absence of pain, 
but the presence of mercy 
within it.

He does not wait for healing 
to arrive. 
He arrives 
in the wound.

The drop

God’s nearness is not a reward. 
It is a rescue. 
A presence that holds 
before it lifts.

He saves the crushed— 
not by avoiding the weight, 
but by entering it.

The broken heart is not abandoned. 
It is where He lingers longest. 
And calls it holy ground.
