Only God can put Scripture inside. But reading sacred text can put it on your hearts, and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside.

About This Quote

The Word of God is the only thing that can heal your heart. Nothing else can heal your broken heart or give you strength to overcome it. You can spend years trying to get over your broken heart, but it will never be mended. Only the Word of God can do that.

When you read the Bible, you put Scripture on your heart. And then when your heart breaks, God’s Word falls inside of you and heals you.
