heartbreak to healing

You may have noticed I’ve been posting a lot about heartbreak/breakups. This is because several good friends of mine have recently gone through hard ones. If you have been following me for awhile, you’d remember I went through a difficult break-up/heartbreak four years ago. I went back to my archive in 2014, sifted through August to January, and have been reposting what spoke to me during that time and the things God taught me. 

I’m doing great, loving life, happily married to my best friend- I just want to offer comfort, encouragement, and truth to people who are hurting or going through a similar time. I understand, I know how much it hurts, and I just want to offer something out of the season I went through to anyone going through that now. There are so many things your heart feels and confusion your mind has to sort through after a break-up. I went through that. The one consistant takeaway I had from going through it and getting through it was to cling and run to Jesus. Just draw closer to Him, take this time to know Him more and be raw and honest and let Him care for your heart. He is enough, He will be enough.

You will move from heartbreak to healing. From grieving a loss to feeling to growth. From feeling stuck and broken to moving forward and whole. From doubt and discouragement to hope and faith. Look to God. Pour your heart out to Him. Reach out to close family and friends and surround yourself with safe love. Let God speak to the truth of how He sees you and who you are in Him. Meditate on His love for you. Unplug. Stop following and focusing on the person who broke your heart. Make a list and dream again and reimagine your life with Jesus. Don’t let despair win and just RUN to Jesus. Don’t slip into lonely nights where you can’t get your mind off the person and the memories you shared. Get in the Word, worship, even if it is through sobs and tears. Allow yourself to feel. Don’t rush the healing. But put your gaze on the one love that is worthy- the love of Christ.

Love you all.

I praise God I had such a great community here four years ago when I was going through my break-up. I had a safe place to share and process and I am thankful for you all. <3

God is faithful. He places the desires in our hearts and we can trust Him with them. He is the greatest love we will ever know. He is the best desire we can have.
