The Hardship of Heartbreak

It was Christmas break and I was headed home.  The crisp air hit my face as I went to meet my love and say goodbye, he was headed west and I was headed to North Carolina.  It was only 4 weeks I could handle not being with him for 4 weeks, we weren’t that attached to the hip. As I waited outside his dorm, I texted him to tell him I was here. As I waited, my wait turned into 30 minutes, then I saw his roommate leave the dorm, he told me my love had left and he wasn’t coming back next semester. I stood there in shock. Was he serious? I had dated this guy for the whole semester, why would he not tell me where we stood. His roommate also added that he had been dating another girl back in his home town, while he was dating me. My heart broke, as I drove with my friend Courtney back to North Carolina we listened to Taylor Swift the whole ride. Tears fell down my face I was heartbroken.  I had never felt this horrible in my life.  Is this what heartbreak feels like? I thought to myself I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy.
 
My battle with heartbreak went like this:

1. I blamed myself- I was so upset that I had chosen to date someone that truly did not care about me despite what he said.
2. I hated him- I was so mad, I could not believe “my love” would do this to me. He is such a jerk
3. I will never date again thinking- I thought to myself this pain hurts to much I never want to date again.
4. How do I get over this pain? I did not have the answer at that time.

 
Can any of your girls relate to this? Has your heart ever been broken like this? Some girls try to get over heartbreak by dating other guys, some girls to turn to partying to get over heartbreak, but I challenge you to turn to Christ. God is the healer!!     He can mend your broken heart.
 

1. He heals those who have broken hearts

 
Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
 

1. Our hearts my fail us but God never does! He can help strengthen our hearts

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

1. God meets all of our needs, he is sufficient for us.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
 
So sweet girl your heart may be broken in this moment, but it does not have to stay that way. Give God your broken heart. Tell him your hurts and frustrations, he is right there waiting for you!
