A good friend of mine recently shared about a circumstance, regarding a relationship, that they are going through and how it has created a great burden in their heart. Hearing this caused pain in my own heart, simply because how I care for that person and because I am familiar with the pain they are dealing with.
Being sad is something I have felt several times before, as with most people.
But true heartache? Real pain?
That's a feeling that seriously affects a person.
There have been a few times when I've felt true heart-brokenness and depression.
...And it really hurts.
I've realized that the majority of people have gone through some form of true heart-brokenness.
Whether it's a relationship with another guy/girl that fails,
Or a person's parents are divorced,
Or someone you had a deep friendship with dies,
Or maybe you've been abused or bullied.
The possibilities are endless,
much like the pain, or at least it feels that way.
And honestly, I can't explain why certain things happen. I don't know all the answers; in fact, I know very little. But I do know what the truth of God is. And I know there are so many people, SO many who need to hear it.
Check out these verses, straight from God:
Psalm 34:18
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Whatever you may be going through today, I promise that God is with you.
I promise that God has a purpose and a plan.
Trust Him with all you are and He will pull you through.
How do I know this? Because that's what He did for me, and that's what He does for every child of His. :)

This post touched me so much...I'm in tears. I have been going through a lot lately, and I really needed to hear that. Thank you so very much for sharing! :)
