His Bleeding Heart Heals Our Broken Heart

Life This Side of Heaven

One of the best-known, and well-loved, of the flowers that bloom each year in late Spring is one called the Bleeding Heart. A "bleeding heart" is also a popular adjective used to describe someone who is sympathetic to the poor and suffering. Here in the Psalms, the David describes a “broken heart.” When you find yourself brokenhearted, crushed in spirit because of your sins, God directs your attention to a bleeding heart. No, not the one in your garden, but the One who bled for you on the cross. Here is our Savior who hears our cry for mercy. Here is real comfort and salvation for brokenhearted sinners like you and me.
