A Place for the Weary

A Place for the Weary

Do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward.
Hebrews 10:35 (NCV)

Is there anything more frail than a bruised reed? Look at the bruised reed
at the water's edge. A once slender and tall stalk of sturdy river grass, it
is now bowed and bent.


Are you a bruised reed? Was it so long ago that you stood so tall, so proud?
..


Then something happened. You were bruised...
by harsh words
by a friend's anger
by a spouse's betrayal ....


The bruised reed .... Society knows what to do with you .... The world will
break you off; the world will snuff you out.


But the artists of Scripture proclaim that God won't. Painted on canvas
after canvas is the tender touch of a Creator who has a special place for
the bruised and weary of the world. A God who is the friend of the wounded
heart.
