Heartbreak/Broken hearts

Heartbreak/ broken hearts

Heartbreak is awful.  It was never part of God's plan.  As I explain, death and all other evil entered because of man's choice to know good evil.  When man chose to know good and evil, the door to the Evil Once opened at humankind's behest.  So in that sense, all heartbreak (a form of evil) comes from the Evil One.  It is part of his evilness and his kingdoms.

That said, not all heartbreak comes directly from the devil's hand.  The death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship with someone you love, sickness, etc, are often the immediate cause of heartbreak without the devil acting in a specific way in the particular event.  But in the cases he has, and i, acting, and your heartbreak is simply the fruition of his hidden, long-term plan for your life.  Regardless of cause, heartbreak is real.  The world is full of broken hearts and heartbreak.  Heaven and our future in God will be utterly free from it.

God was and is aware of heartbreak:  His own for the loss of creation and His loss of so many people to their own way.  He is also aware of our heartbreak.  He feels it.  Jesus came to open the door or relationship with God the Father so He could heal the brokenhearted (Is. 61:1)

Heartbreak is so devastating that people can, and very often do, die of it, rapidly or slowly, sometimes through alcohol or overeating.  During times of heartbreak, God can and does help us.  He lives in our hearts and His Presence can and does heal them.  In the heartbreak process (which I know all too well through the death of my wife in an automobile accident), it is often only (or mostly) God who pulls us through.  Initially, He may act by placing us into a different, best possible available situation to keep us alive;  He may give us work or daily activities to do to be sure we put one foot in front of the other until we realize we'll survive and learn to thrive again; and/or He'll take whatever other steps are necessary to deal with us as individuals.

The key thing is to know is that in our helplessness, He will provide a way forward so that as time passes He can heal us.  Even in heartbreak, however, God expects us to do what we can, as much or as little as that may be.  Action is what God expects/ requires of us.  Applying the principle you find here will expedite your recovery if your heart is broken.  One day a new view of life will be visible, a new plan will seem possible, then a new course, until one day a bit of happiness and joy will return to you.  In the fullness, He will give you the promised abundant life.
