The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
because the LORD has anointed me...
... to heal the brokenhearted
Brokenheartedness is often associated with a bad romance. Break-ups or rejection.
But there are all sorts of causes of brokenheartedness in the world.
I think it's inevitable that parents break their children's heart. Unexpected withdrawals of love. Realizing your parents aren't perfect or not who you thought they were. And children, of course, break their parents hearts too.
Camelots are exposed as being unattainable or merely illusions.
Contests are lost. Betrayals abound. Promises are broken.
Brokenhearted people should take comfort in the words of Isaiah. Sure, God comes for prisoners, the blind, the deaf, the lame, and the sinners. But he has a special place in his heart and actively seeks out the brokenhearted.
