Coração quebrantado
Deus está perto dos que têm o coração quebrantado. A Bíblia consola os aflitos: o sacrifício que Deus aceita é o espírito quebrantado e um coração contrito — jamais desprezará.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sorrow produces death. Consider what earnestness this godly sorrow of yours has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what righting of wrong! In everything you have shown yourselves to be clear in the matter.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for yoʋ, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
