"A bruised reed He will not break, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish..." (Isaiah 42:3)

Such comforting words that most part of my life that I have lived after knowing the Lord, these words have upheld me through thick and thin. It always reminds me that God is a God of a second chance. Yes, I have been broken, in my body, when I was sick and was dependent on others, broken in my mind when depressed and discouraged by my own follies, broken in my heart when earthly love failed me and broken in my spirit when I failed God and that too many times over. But yet these words have always helped me get back to life. It sort of adds oil to the almost burnt out lamp that I was in troubled times so I can burn brighter. These words support the otherwise limp me, unable to confront anything or anybody, so I can stand up and walk and take life as it unfolds before me.
