Love Dose #1



30:30 Day 1
Love dose #1: Psalm 147: 2-3     
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Personal study
builds up: uplifts, encourages, redeems…
Jerusalem/Israel: special people, His beloved (ME!!!!)
Gathers the outcasts: the rejected, lonely, uncared for… they become meaningful to Him.
Heals the brokenhearted: healing denotes sickness… illness… sadness of heart. 
Binds up their wounds: takes healing measures, cares for, mends… wounds/sorrows.

What promises did God make to me in this passage?

·         You will build me up!
·         You will gather me as Your own!
·         You will heal my broken heart!
·         You will bind up (mend) my wounds/sorrows!

My two-cents:
I’m grateful for the fellowship of the Lord. He keeps me and covers me. At times, I feel as though He is all I have. The only one who loves me all the t1ime. And I need that! To feel loved! And wanted! That feeling melts my heart. I don’t do well on my own, so I intend to fully lean on God to fill that void. I’m also grateful for the companionship of my son. He makes me smile, even when he is being a typical 5 year-old!
