For The Brokenhearted

I don't know if you've ever had a broken heart, but let me tell you from experience that it feels like the whole world is falling apart. Everything you had dreamed and hoped for seemed to finally be at your fingertips, and then boom, it's gone. 

I've found that Heartbreak is a lot like grief. You have to morn the loss of what you thought was going to be and that is a rough process. 

It can be really hard to do life with a broken heart. Yet, amongst the mess, heartbreak, tears, emotions, and long days, God does not leave us by ourselves. In fact, God says in Psalm 147:3 that "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds". Psalm 34:18 also tells us that "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." And lastly God shows his love for the brokenhearted in Isaiah 61:1 where it says, "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners" Here God's love is shown through the man speaking who says "God has sent me to show you that he loves you, and that there is hope". We have a great God who loves us and restores broken hearts who is with us and doesn't leave us to suffer alone. 

Tying in with this month's theme I found that Romans 8:25 is encouraging to the brokenhearted...

"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently".

This verse is telling us that even though we may not have what we long for in this world, we have a future hope knowing that we are heirs through Christ of the blessings to come in Heaven. And the greatest thing is that we don't have to live longing or hoping for love. Christ offers us that today, right now, and forever. 

May your encouragement be in this sisters, God loves you. 


And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 
Romans 8:28

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Four Tips for Creating Community through Blogging

1. Reach out to other bloggers:  this is an  essential when wanting to get into community. It can be as small as a comment on their blog, or an email. I have built relationships with other bloggers through email, commenting on their blogs, etc. For me it has been a beneficial thing, to create community in something that I really didn't know there was any.   This is a great post on why bloggers need community.  2. Join a blog group on Facebook, or some other social media group: I have joined the Peony Project on facebook which is a group for other christian bloggers. It's a great group and i would definitely recommend it!  3. Make meaningful comments: when I say meaningful comments I don't mean that you have to write a novel, but at least engage with the post somehow. Check out Madison's post on how to comment on blogs to find out more.  4. Plan a blogger Meetup : ...
