In This Episode Terry offers encouragement for listeners who feel broken or alone. She focuses on Jesus’ mission to bind up the brokenhearted and the Psalmist’s reference that God desires truth in my innermost being.

The Japanese art of Kintsugi as a picture of God’s restoration of our brokenness. Quick fixes and self-sufficiency don’t bring lasting healing. However, allowing Jesus to restore us slowly and thoughtfully give us a new heart. The comfort we receive will allow us to then provide comfort to others. Ultimately our value increases through the process!

Key Scriptures

• Isaiah 61:1— Bind up the brokenhearted
• Psalm 51:6—Behold, you desire truth in my innermost being
• 2 Corinthians 1:3–5. God comforts us so we can comfort others

Key Takeaways

• God restores broken hearts carefully and intentionally
• Healing is a slow process — but a meaningful one
• Quick fixes don’t hold; God’s restoration does
• Your brokenness does not reduce your value — it increases it
• God comforts you so you can comfort others

Prayer Focus

Ask God to:

• Gently hold your broken places
• Restore your heart
• Fill missing pieces with His grace
• Use your story to comfort others
