How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go round?
Have you ever felt the people of this world just break your heart? People you love? It is so hard to have people in your family that go out of their way to hurt you. How do you get around it? How do you let that slide off your back? How do you not take it personally?
The short answer is you don’t. You can not get past these things unless you are in love with the only One that will never hurt you or betray you. It is only in His glory that you can let these hurts and people go. That you can allow them to be who they are with all the failings and faults that come with them. Just as they allow you to be who you are.
Does God see our pain and sorrow at the hand of those who are supposed to love and protect us? I know this one. It is yes. He sees us. One of my favorite verses is In Exodus three. Verse seven says, “The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.” I love this verse because I put my name in place of the “people” and I put what ever I am going through in place of the “Egypt”. It is very encouraging.
What part of your broken heart do you need mended? Where do you need God to see you right now? Sometimes, it is as simple as my God saying to me, ” I have indeed seen the misery of my Peggy in a tired and grouchy mood. I have heard her husband cry out, and I care about both of them.”
See how that can bring a smile to your face, already? It also works if God needs to see my sister in a hurtful and abusive relationship or a painfully trapping addiction.
God will mend your broken heart. He will stop the storm in your life. He will continue to shine on you. He will make the world go round.
