Big Idea: Some trauma can only be healed by nail-scarred hands.       I. Jesus is close. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit. II. Jesus comforts. Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. III. Jesus gives courage. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Next Steps: Believe: I need Jesus to change my heart today. Become: I need Jesus to help me heal this week. Be Sent: I will help someone hurting this week.
