Joy Will Come Again: Healing for the Brokenhearted
“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.”
— Isaiah 51:11, KJV
There are seasons when life hits so hard it feels like the light has left your soul. When grief is relentless. When disappointment settles into your bones. When joy seems like a memory and pain feels like the only constant.
But the Lord whispers something deeper than your sorrow:
“Joy will come again.”
It is the promise of the Most High. He is not distant from your pain He is the God of the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). His heart is tender toward yours. His arms are open. And His voice is calling you to come, rest, and be healed by love.
God is Your Refuge in the Storm
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1, KJV
When the pain of life beats you down, God doesn’t offer clichés He offers Himself.
“Hide yourself in Me,” He says.
Not in distractions.
Not in temporary fixes.
Not in shame or self-reliance.
But in Him.
He is your refuge a safe shelter for your soul. And within that shelter, He speaks these words:
“I am kind. I am merciful. I am good. I love you. I know how to heal your tender heart.”
Let these words settle deeper than the lies you’ve believed. God is not waiting for you to fix yourself He is waiting for you to open your heart so He can flood you with peace.
Rest in His Finished Work
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28, KJV
God doesn’t rush your healing. He honors your grief. He’s not disappointed in your weariness. He simply says,
“Rest in My finished work.”
Jesus carried your sorrow on the cross. He bore your grief, your shame, your failure. And now, He offers resuscitation not just for your soul, but for your faith.
It’s okay to mourn. It’s okay to feel broken.
But after He strengthens you, He will take your hand and lead you back into joy.
This is His rhythm:
Grief. Grace. Glory.
Pain. Presence. Praise.
He never leaves you in the valley but He meets you there.
Joy Is Your Inheritance
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
— Psalm 30:5, KJV
God is not done with your story.
Your sorrow is not the final chapter.
His Word promises:
“Those Yahweh has set free will return to Zion and come celebrating with songs of joy… gladness and joy will overwhelm them; despair and depression will disappear.” (Isaiah 51:11)
That’s a covenant promise.
The same God who wept at Lazarus’ tomb is the same One who called him out of it.
And He will do the same for you.
Let Him lift your head. Let Him restore your laughter.
Joy will come again.
The Gospel of Salvation
Friend, if you’ve never experienced the joy of being made new in Christ, today is your moment. The joy your soul craves is not found in the world it’s found in Jesus. He died and rose again so you could be free, healed, and whole.
All have sinned.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23, KJV
Sin brings death.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23, KJV
Jesus paid the price.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8, KJV
Confess and believe.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
— Romans 10:9, KJV
Receive Him today. Joy is not just coming it’s found in knowing Him.

Your tears are kept.
And your joy your joy will come again.
Let the Lord be your refuge.
Let Him flood your heart with peace.
