God Heals Hearts

Hearts get broken. It’s one of the things that we face in life. Whether our hearts are broken by the loss of a loved one through death, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, a marriage shattered by cheating, a divorce, the loss of a friend… a broken heart hurts. Where once was a heart filled with joy and love is a heart that is torn, shattered, broken, in dispair. Then we are left wondering how to go on, what to do, how to make it through each day.

There is no doubt that a broken heart leaves a person also broken. Often after a broken heart, we don’t want to try again, we don’t want to have a reason to go on, we see only more hurt in the future if we trust again or open our hearts up again. Often we just give up. Our lives become not living, but a mere existance.

Having a broken heart isn’t the end, though. It doesn’t mean life is over. It does mean hurt, yes. It does mean pain, yes. Loss and grief do hurt! But I am here to tell you that there is hope, there is reason to go on, there is reason to start over, there is reason to live and be happy again.

God heals hearts! He doesn’t promise us we won’t go through pain and grief and sorrow. But He does promise to never leave us. A broken heart can be mended, and it can be healed. God is the Great Healer. He can fill our hearts again with joy and laughter and happiness. We just have to open up to Him and let Him in. And where He is, there will also Love be.

When the trials of life get us down, we have somewhere to turn. We can turn to God. When we put our hearts out there loving and caring, and our hearts get broken, God is there to put us back together again, to heal us, to make us whole again.

This life isn’t perfect. And things are going to happen that tear at our hearts. There is just no getting away from that in this life. Accidents happen, death calls, people leave us, people use us, people hurt us… hearts get broken. But if we let God lead us, if we trust in God, if we allow Him to heal us, He will heal our hearts.

I know that God heals hearts, because He has healed mine. I didn’t do it. No human did it. God healed my heart and he will heal yours too. Just let Him in.
