Healing Broken Hearts

There’s a song sung by James Taylor called Handyman with lyrics that read:

Hey girls, gather round

Listen to what I’m putting down

Hey baby, I’m your handy man

I’m not the kind to use a pencil or rule

I’m handy with love and I’m no fool

I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

If your broken heart should need repair

Then I’m the man to see

I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends

They’ll come runnin’ to me

Here is the main thing that I want to say

I’m busy twenty-four hours a day

I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

God doesn’t just fix broken hearts by whispering sweet things.  He heals broken hearts by binding up the wounds.  Broken hearts abound these days.  Isn’t it reassuring to know that our LORD is the Healer of  hearts such as these?  Jesus is better than a handyman.
