God is always so close to His beloved — yes, you.

Scripture says in Psalms 34:18,

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Not near to the perfect.

Not near to the strongest.

Near to the broken.

On Exquisite’s Podcast, let me tell you something gently: your breaking point is not your abandonment point. It is often your meeting point with God.

We sometimes think God shows up when we have it all together — when our faith is loud, when our worship is strong, when our life looks put-together. But this scripture reveals a different side of Him. He draws close to the cracked places. He leans into the tears. He sits with the ache.

Brokenhearted doesn’t just mean heartbreak from love. It means disappointment. Delay. Failure. Silent prayers. Feeling misunderstood. Feeling tired of being strong.

And “crushed in spirit”? That’s when you’re smiling outside but heavy inside.

The beautiful thing is this: God doesn’t run from fragile people. He stays. He saves. He strengthens quietly.

So if you feel low, don’t interpret it as distance. He is near. Closer than your breath. Closer than your fear.

You are not alone in your breaking. You are deeply held in it.

This is Exquisite, reminding you — your weakness does not repel Him. It attracts His nearness. 💛
