The Healer of the Brokenhearted

After training years and years for six days a week to run a 12-second race, American Olympic sprinter, Lolo Jones, finished 1/100th of a second behind the bronze medalist at the London 2012 Olympic Games. She tweeted this message when she realized she had failed to medal for her second consecutive Olympics:

(I'm) in (my) room singing Desert Song by Hillsong. It's on repeat. Lord, Jesus please comfort me, guide me and heal my broken heart.

He is the healer of the brokenhearted.
He is the one who bandages their wounds.
-- Psalm 147:3 (GWT)

Jesus, You are the One Who heals our broken hearts.
Yes, You are our Victory and You are here with us in every season.
Grateful

"The End is What's Important."

Comments in this newsfeed from the 2012 Olympic Games in London caught my full attention:

Usain Bolt is back. Racing against a star-studded field in which every qualifier ran faster than 10 seconds in the semifinal, Bolt (from Jamacia) successfully defended his 2008 gold medal in the 100 meters by setting a new Olympic record of 9.63 seconds. "I executed, and that's the key," Bolt told reporters after celebrating his fourth career gold medal with a victory lap. "I stopped worrying about the start. The end is what's important."

But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
-- Mathew 24:13 (NLT)

Let us finish the race focused on Jesus.
