Just 2 days before my birthday in 2016, the man whom I loved decided to tell me he doesn’t love me anymore.
My heart was broken and the days that followed were excruciating. I would wake up and feel empty with no joy to get out of my bed. My hope was gone. I had no motivation to do things I once enjoyed.
And then the Holy Spirit reminded me to pick up the cross and follow Christ. He encouraged me to live again and enjoy the gift of life. He spoke to me through a dear friend in a letter given to me on my birthday. She wrote- "Your heart will beat again!"
I am a hopeful romantic. I believe in two imperfect people pursuing the perfect love of Christ. Yes, I'm still hopeful. The more I learn about God's love for me, the more I'm drawn to Him. I realize that everything in this world is dull in comparison to the selfless love of Christ. He relentlessly pursues my heart with an unceasing love even when I fail Him every day. He faithfully encourages me to live life every day even when I am unfaithful. He is my Best Friend. He is the One who laid down His life for me. Words fall short to describe His amazing love. So I urge you to come to Christ to experience His love for you. I must warn you - He will captivate your heart with His love forever and you will never be the same. He will fill your broken and empty heart with His satisfying love, joy and peace. His love will overflow from you to reach others who are in desperate need of love.
Praying that everything that seems dead within you will come to life. I know your heart will beat again. Encouraging you to live and enjoy the gift of life.
