To the girl hurting:

I get it. You feel your life is falling a part, and nothing can change the pain that you are enduring right now. You thought he would never cause you this type of hurt. You thought he was different. You know all the cliché sayings, “ You will grow from this”, “It’s his loss and your gain”, “I know it hurts right now, but you’ll get better.” As cliché as these sayings are, they are also very true. It is a very hard reality to face that in the end you will be okay. This is just all a part of God’s divine plan for you. You can’t see it now, but one day you will look back and say, “That’s why I went through the pain.” Today, I don’t want to tell you another over-used cliché saying. I want to tell you something different, something you can cling to during this time of aching.

In a world full of change; Changing places, changing circumstances, and changing people we have a Father in Heaven who is everlasting. He will never change. He will never leave. Deuteronomy 31:6 say, “ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you.” That truth is SO good, “he will never leave you nor forsake you.” In this awful season of hurt, know that you have a God who sees you and who is walking along side of you. God sees our hurt; He cares for our hurt even if it’s over a guy. I urge you though so deeply to take this time and find your strength in God. Seek Christ more and more each day. Point your eyes to the ultimate healer. Pray that you will be able to forgive. Pray for yourself to indulge in the Word of God, and that you will stand firm in Christ. Cling to the hope that even while you are struggling, God is working in and through you. Put your hope in the everlasting Father, the one who will be with you until the end of the age. This is how you heal. This is how you become okay.

I am writing this to you today because I know how hard it is to go through a break up. I know how it feels to think that you would have never thought this guy would leave you. I totally understand. It sucks. I want you to know this, that it is okay to not be okay. But I also want you to know how easy it is to fall into the lie of “you won’t make it through this.” Don’t feed into that lie. Don’t feed into the hurt, that’s how the devil creeps in and lends you toward insecurity, doubt, and discouragement. Know that your security is found in Christ; know that He loves you even when you feel unloved; know He is with you even when you feel alone.

It may be hard to believe but you will make it through this terrible time. It will be incredibly difficult, but cling to the truth, find rest that Jesus our Lord and Savior is everlasting. He will ALWAYS stay with you even if a guy won't right now.
