JEHOVAH HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED

• Jehovah deeply cares for those suffering from emotional wounds and is eager to provide support and comfort.
• Psalm 147:3 describes Jehovah as one who “binds up the wounds” of the brokenhearted, tenderly caring for their emotional needs.
• To benefit from Jehovah’s care, we must trust and follow his loving guidance, much like a patient following a skilled doctor’s instructions.
• Through his Word, Jehovah offers practical advice to help us heal and comforts us with the assurance of his love and attention.

JEHOVAH ASSURES US OF OUR WORTH

• Even in a world devoid of love, Jehovah values us deeply and draws close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
• Jehovah sees good in our hearts and takes notice of our faith and love, even if others have mistreated or devalued us.
• Jesus’ example reflects Jehovah’s compassion, showing care for those marginalized and commending faith and good qualities (Matthew 9:9-12).
• When doubts about our worth persist, meditate on scriptures like Psalm 94:19 and Luke 12:6-7, which affirm Jehovah’s deep interest in us.
• Jehovah has reasonable expectations of us and does not hold us accountable for others' wrong actions, such as past abuse.
• Life experiences, even difficult ones, equip us to empathize with and help others, just as Helen found renewed purpose in serving as a pioneer.

JEHOVAH WANTS US TO ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS

• Jehovah no longer holds our sins against us once we’ve repented and set matters straight (Psalm 103:9, 12).
• Focus on the present and future, as Paul did, rather than dwelling on past mistakes (Philippians 3:13-15).
• When possible, repair damage caused by past actions and seek Jehovah’s help to support those affected (2 Corinthians 7:11).
• Jehovah is patient and willing to use us despite past failures, as seen in the example of Jonah, who received a second chance to fulfill his assignment.

JEHOVAH COMFORTS US THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT

• Jehovah uses his holy spirit to comfort us in times of trauma or loss, granting us peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6, 7).
• Holy spirit empowers us to endure and overcome feelings of weakness, as Flora experienced after a painful betrayal (Ephesians 3:16).

• Meditate on Bible accounts, such as Joseph’s, to see how Jehovah strengthens his people through trials (Genesis 39:21-23).

JEHOVAH COMFORTS US THROUGH FELLOW BELIEVERS

• Fellow believers are “a source of great comfort” and an expression of Jehovah’s love (Colossians 4:11).
