A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. (Isaiah 42:3)
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? (Luke 15:4)
Charles Spurgeon

We can expect tender treatment from the Lord

The author feels weak and broken after someone said they didn't care about them. They compare themselves to a reed or a smoking wick with no light. However, they find comfort in Jesus' protection and hope that he will turn them on again to shine for his glory. Read more...

Efigenia Vidal : It is written: Let the weak say, I am strong. Experiencing in part corroborating thus, what the word of God describes, is one more example, that He Creator of all that exists, is aware of all his creation, and even if I were to fail my Eternal FATHER, I know that in his indescribable love and mercy, he is there ready to hear when I cry out for strength, wisdom and intelligence. Because my thoughts are far below His. Great is God in Glory and Honor, who fulfills his word in his time. I am sure that he strengthens me and does not abandon me. The peace of God and his blessing be with you.

Betty Casanova: Jesus gave us Salvation at no cost and as Christians we must be grateful for so much undeserved Grace and be the light to extinguish the darkness and become the joyful fire of the Holy Spirit, learning from His word to teach others and always being intimate with Jesus in prayer to keep the fire alive in us, inspiring intimacy by learning the word of God and exhaling prayer we avoid discouragement, depression and the Lord gives us strength to continue seeking His Kingdom and Justice.
