When our hearts are broken, life can feel like a waste. We may think what good is it when we’re experiencing so much pain. During these times it’s important to remember that God can turn our brokenness into beauty and our pain into purpose. Not only can God heal us, He often then uses our testimony to help others. You are not the only one who is experiencing this type of heartache and you won’t be the last. When we trust God to bring us to healing and wholeness, we become a beacon of hope to others navigating the same dark season that they too can make it out. I’m not going to pretend to know why God has you going through a particular heartbreak, but I do know that when we lean into Him for healing, He has the power to turn any situation around for His glory and our good (Romans 8:28) because His Word says so, and His Word is always true.
Hope reminds us it won’t be like this forever. Roman 15:13 encourages us:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13 ESV)
Hope gives us the will to keep walking in the dark until we find the light, because we believe there is light at the end of this tunnel, even if we can’t see or feel it right now. Hope helps us not to stay stuck, but gives us reason unseen to believe the best and keep walking towards the light. And God is that light for us. He gives us reason to wake up in the morning and to continue to believe for the best. If God has given you breath today, you have hope for tomorrow because that means He’s not finished with you. Today, I invite you to not give up and continue to hope in God who will heal your broken heart.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for helping me to heal from a broken heart or a challenging season. Thank you that I can always look to You for a fresh start and place my hope in You. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray. Amen.
