I know, I know.. The title of this article doesn't quite make sense. Hopefully by the end, you'll understand what I mean when I say, "Let Jesus break your heart."
Growing up, I never really knew what love was. I knew my family loved me, and I knew someday I would find a boy who loved me, but I didn't know what actual breathtaking, unconditional love was. That was until, I let Christ break my heart.
I was so used to the "routine." What I mean by that statement is that, I had a set schedule when it came to my Christianity. I went to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I prayed when I was supposed to and I memorized the Bible verses I was told to. I thought that's what loving Jesus was. I thought it was supposed to be a routine.
I was wrong. Oh boy was I wrong. It all hit me when I was fifteen years old. I was attending a church camp during the summer. I went through entire week just believing that it was fun and nothing really serious. I was living by that "routine." On the last night something changed inside of me. Something was breaking my heart for all the right reasons. I realized that Jesus loved me unconditionally, no matter the mistakes I have made. He DIED for me! He died so I could be saved. And this is how I have repaid him?
My heart was broken by Jesus and it was repaired by HIS love. So if you have not found Jesus, or even if you have, I strongly encourage you to let him break your heart into a million pieces. Let HIM put the pieces back together. Let him LOVE you! It will be scary, but I promise you it will be worth it. Let go and let God.
