spiritual enlightenment when a relationships hurts
Be Blessed.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.
Sheila,
Relationships do turn sour and it hurts sometimes. That is the time that you turn to your heavenly father for strength. Turn to the word of God and find comfort in the word. If you have a spiritual leader that you feel comfortable discussing this with, talk to him/her about it.
Always remember that there is nobody who is better able to heal a broken heart than our heavenly father. Go to him and tell him your thoughts, give him your hurt and pain and he will ease your burden.
Sheila, love hurts and feels wonderful. Love makes us certain and costs us every hint of certainty. We don't often know what that attraction is or how we found ourselves attracted to that special new someone. Love brings us to a new high of excitement and slams us to the ground in ennui.
It is important to know that others have come this way before. That is why we have each other.
People are made of three things, all combined at the smallest planes:
We have a material form, called a human body. We have a human spirit, called a mind. We have an innate knowledge that there is something behind the scenes that shapes the course of our lives, that we call destiny.
It was your destiny to meet someone who perhaps doesn't care enough to care for you decently, so that you could grow stronger and develop that all-important sense of humor. No, the "joke" is not on "you." Sometimes things happen that we don't want to happen.
These are the precious times, when love seems so far away, that we realize how close another sort of love really is. The Love of God is as close as that pain in your heart. You need only turn to others, who have had the same experience, and came out positive for their trials. It is easy to slip into negativity at times like this, to go as bitter and rebellious as Helen Gurley Brown or John Lennon. Or you can find someone near you who has the love of God already showing in their life, and that will bring this potentially life-wrecking event and bring you into a new group of friends who will not fail you, frail humans that we are.
