Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," Jesus said, "to heal the brokenhearted..." (Luke 4,18). Who are the brokenhearted? Are there any brokenhearted people around today? Yes, I believe there are more brokenhearted people around today than ever before.
To be brokenhearted means to burst, break down, break in pieces, break up, crush, destroy, hurt and quench. It covers much more than "chagrin d'amore" or an unhappy love affair. I believe it means to be without hope, everything seems to be taken away from you and you can see no way out. That's the kind of situation that Jesus wants to come into and heal. He not only wants to comfort and console you, He wants to HEAL you, make you new. He wants to repair your broken heart and give you new life, new hope and a new outlook on life. And He can do it, because He is the only real life there is. He is the way, the truth and the life, and only through Him and His healing can you and I experience true healing.
To be healed from a broken heart, however, you need to give your heart to Him. It's the heart that is given to Him He can heal. If we want to keep control of our lives and continue our sinful living, Jesus can do nothing. But if you and I give Him our hearts, and ask Him into our lives to stay, He will perform a miracle in us.
If you're brokenhearted and want to give up on life, give Him a chance. You have nothing to lose and everything to win.
God bless you!
