God's Love is Personal

Sometimes when I'm praying and I'm not sure what to pray, 
this comes to mind.
"Cleanse me of anything that breaks Your heart."

God's heart hurts because of our suffering and our sin. 
Yet, He loves us so much that He bears the weight of our burdens.
I'm thankful for His incredible love.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
-Psalm 147:3
When I think of 'our' instead of 'their' in that verse,
God's love becomes personal to my soul.
