Recently, I've realized that I am very lucky.

I'm lucky because I have never experienced true, extreme heartbreak.

I've had only a taste of what it can do to a girl.

Heartbreak, in the very small sense that I've dealt with it, is not knowing how to move on –– not knowing what to think, yet doing absolutely nothing else but thinking, because someone didn't want you; because someone chose to give you up.

Heartbreak eats at your mind –– it's all-consuming.

And the worst part is, the only cure is time.

Inevitably, it will be all you can think about ... at least for a while. But, let yourself be sad, let yourself experience the emotions that you need to.

I am also a very lucky girl because I've grown up knowing that I can run to God with anything and lean on Him when I don't know what to do next.

To all of the broken-hearted girls, this is what God has to say.

"If you come to me with this, I will give you peace."

Matthew 11:28-30 - " 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.' "

Psalms 34:18 - "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

Revelation 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

"Do not doubt that you are enough. You are enough for me."

Jeremiah 1:5 - "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."

Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Romans 8:37-39 - "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"I have a better path to show you, if you'll let me."

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

2 Peter 3:9 - "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

"I will never, ever leave you to fight this battle alone."

Deuteronomy 31:6 - "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.”

Joshua 1:9 - “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 23:4 - “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Psalm 46:5 - "God is within her, she will not fall."
