Everyone has gone through some sort of heartbreak. And as we can all agree upon, it hurts. The term broken-hearted can be described in many different ways. Some people say it's like dropping a glass on the floor and watching it shatter.

Some days it's like a jack hammer breaking your heart up piece by piece. Maybe you put on a happy face and smile through the pain. Maybe you act like it doesn't bother you. But deep down you feel all alone.

There's other people out there that feel the same way, but the most important person that ever suffered the greatest was, Jesus Christ. He was nailed to the cross and beaten even though he showed his love to everyone.

Maybe you're an adult going through a tough divorce. Maybe you're a child whose parent left, or your children won't speak to you. Maybe you've lost a loved one. Or maybe you're like me, a teenage girl about to go to college who is experiencing heartbreak through broken friendships while trying to go off to college. Maybe you feel alone, but trust me when I say you're not. As hard as it may feel, we can find comfort in God's word! He didn't promise that life would be easy, but he gives us reassurance that we will be okay during those tough times.

1. God is near.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. - Psalm 34:18

2. God will strengthen you

You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life. - Psalm 71:20

3. God is with you.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. - Isaiah 43:2

4. Hard times won't last forever.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. - Romans 8:18

5. God has a plan for life.

For I know the plans for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

6. Don't give up.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

While things are hard, comfort can always be found in the scriptures. What you see as broken God sees as beautiful so always remember to trust in him.
