The Bible teaches that the Lord is close to those with a broken heart and saves those with a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Scripture highlights the significance of a broken heart, particularly in relation to God's grace and redemption. In Psalm 34:18, it is noted that the LORD is near to the brokenhearted, showing that God actively seeks those who recognize their spiritual neediness. Similarly, Psalm 51:17 emphasizes that God values a broken and contrite heart, indicating that humility before Him is essential for genuine worship and relationship with the Creator. This theme underscores the necessity for believers to acknowledge their weaknesses and need for divine grace.
