If you are a girl, then this title should automatically include you. We have all been hurt at some point, and we will continue to be hurt because we live in a fallen world. But I am here to talk to the girls who have been left heartbroken in a relationship. I am not here to write about how I have been heartbroken, but rather here to let you know that I understand. I am here to write truths from the Lord because I know heartbreak is a thing most people will go through. In this journal entry, know that when I refer to heartbreak I am specifically talking about relationship heartbreak. I am aware that heartbreak has many different layers to it. But today, I am here for the girl who has an aching heart because of a boy.
Your heart is precious to God so guard it, and wait for the man who will treasure it. -Unknown
I feel as if hearts are a tricky thing. You hear "guard you heart" but you also hear "don't be scared to let them in". All I can say is, know your worth before you ever enter into a relationship. Guard your heart so the man that pursues you is also treasuring you. Maybe you are a girl who always has to be talking to a guy. If that is you, stop giving a piece of your heart away to every single guy that gives you attention. Not all of us are called to marriage, but the majority of us will get married someday. So guard your heart for the man you marry. Because a godly man is always worth the wait.
And most of all, guard you heart because it is so precious to God!
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass then thank Him for breaking your heart. - Oswald Chambers
When you go through a breakup, usually your first thought is not to thank God for a broken heart. But, if we know that God always has a purpose behind everything, then we should be thanking God for a broken heart as hard as that may be. God sees the bigger picture and we just know the here and now because we do not know what the future holds. That is a scary thought, but it can also be comforting. We have to trust in Gods goodness even through the trials and pain.
Come to me, all you who
are weary and burdened;
and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
He heals the broken-hearted,
and bandages their wounds.
Psalm 147:3
And we know that all things
work together for good for those
who love God, who are called
according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
Also take comfort in the fact that our current sufferings do not compare to what is to come in Heaven. As it says in Romans 8:18- For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.
To the girl who has been heartbroken, you are going to be okay! Going through a heartbreak will make you stronger if you let God transform your heart.
