A Bruised Reed Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Lord is willing
and able to draw
close to all of His people
as they go through
life's various difficulties
and dangers.

He will not break
a bruised reed
nor will He quench
a smoking flax.

He is always close
to the broken-hearted
and He is the Saviour
of those whose spirits
are crushed down.

He came, in the Person
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
to bind up the wounds
of those in pain and
to offer salvation to
those that trust in Him.
