![]() "He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted." (Isaiah 61:1) The Lord must do the work. We are just vessels and we pray that we are fit for the master’s use. Yet, when people experience us they should be able to experience the nature of God. For, “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) “If you could see Him here, in bodily Presence, you would say, "That is the One to whom I can tell all my troubles." You know how it is recorded of Him that He "healed all that were sick; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses." You may always come to Jesus—He will always be willing to hear your sad story, always be able to solve your difficulties and always be able to relieve your distresses. This ought to comfort you, but I cannot make it do so. I am not sent to bind up the brokenhearted in the same sense in which Christ was—I am sent to be an instrument in His hands—He must do the work—for only He can do it!” (Charles Spurgeon) As the instruments of God we must be ready to tell the world, “come see a man.” We are not the healer or deliverer but we know the one who has been sent to “bind up the broken-hearted.” GiGi❤️
