Being brokenhearted is every girl’s nightmare. It’s the humiliation of thinking you weren’t good enough. We watch chick flicks so that our hearts flutter with every happy ending. And when our situation isn’t a happy ending, we feel we have failed. It’s incredible how worldly views can affect how our heart’s break. They break for a boy, or because we didn’t win the crown, or because we didn’t graduate with honors, or because we didn’t get that perfect car. Once again, we’re selfish. When we’re heartbroken it’s about our own failures. There’s a line in a Hillsong United song that says, “Break my heart for what breaks Yours.” God’s heart breaks for others. Never for His own selfish agenda. Yet, all we can do is focus on our own failures and feel heartbroken. God also paves a way for us never to fail. He sent His only Son to die for us. Talk about heartbreaking. He opened a door for our failures to be opportunity for challenges: obstacles in life which bring us closer to Him. Often, it’s a way for us to help bring others closer to Him as well: for our hearts to break for those who need Him most. I want to cry for those who need Him. I want to feel the pain of their hearts yearning and breaking for the Holy Spirit to consume them and reign in them. I don’t want to feel heartbreak for myself, because I know I am desperately in love with the Man of my dreams that will never leave me or forsake me. He’ll never leave me brokenhearted. But do they know that? Do they know that He can take their hearts and make them full and satisfied? Do they know that their broken heart can be put back together by letting go and letting God glue it back into one piece? Lord, break my heart for them.
