Isaiah 55: 6-7(NLT), “Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.”
No one would argue that a broken heart is a very difficult kind of pain to overcome, and the only thing you can think about is grabbing on to something to soothe it so that you don’t ever feel it again. Even for me, after my first bought with a broken heart, I didn’t want to hear anything about meeting another man. I avoided relationships like it was a plague. Even though I knew I couldn’t remain in solitude forever, I was nervous about meeting someone new; the thought of having to possibly take a chance with my heart being broken was too much for my mind to conceive.
I delved into God’s word for comfort and solace
because I knew that it was the only piece of real truth that would soothe my
heart and soul. “Leave it in God’s Hands
baby He’ll fix it.” Those are the words
my grandmother gave to me when I was fourteen years old after my high-school
crush told me he didn’t have the same feelings for me as I did for him. Oh I
was crushed. I cried for weeks.
God’s love is the only remedy for a raw kind of
pain. God says in Isaiah to seek the
Lord while you can find him. This lets us know that we can easily miss out on
finding the Lord in our situations. Especially
if you don’t know where to look for Him.
Thank goodness I was reared in the church at a very early age. Plus, I
was surrounded by nothing but women who dedicated their lives to making sure us
young’uns knew the bible. We had to learn the Lord’s prayer almost as soon as
we could read. It would serve as the first layer of foundation when it came to
knowing who God is.
What I quickly learned was pain was the same no matter
what age you are, the only difference is that as you get older, you learn how
to compartmentalize it better. Many
would argue this fact but heartache feels the same at 36 as it did at 14. What I also learned is heartache and pain is an
indicator your thoughts, intentions and actions have been aimed in the wrong
direction and on the wrong thing.
Because God is not the author of confusion you will quickly
began to realize that God is not in the mix.
1 Corinthians 14:33 tells us so clearly, “For God is not a God of
disorder put of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.
Confusion in your personal life means there are some
areas that require God’s attention.
Having someone to love you and be by your side is a gift, and anything
from God will be filled with love, peace and joy only. Gifts from God brings a special kind of
fulfillment that only He can give and you can’t find anywhere else in
life. It creates a certain synchronicity
and balance to life.
When you find the strength to overcome the feelings of
heartache and pain, God will infuse you with His love and courage to start
again. Every day can be a new beginning
toward having the peace and joy that only God can give. No other person is meant to give to you what
can only be found in God. He’s the
definition of what true and good love really is.
