Dear Friend,
From the surface, it is pretty obvious that you’ve got some good reasons to be upset—just when your hopes get up about renewing a relationship, the guy bails, along with someone you thought was a friend. I know you’re hurt over this, but I want to encourage you to look beyond the surface and try to see the situation in a different light—the light that comes from God’s wisdom and the hope that He gives.
The bible says that “All things work together for good for them who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” (Rom. 8:28) Even though it’s hard to be treated this way, God will use it for good in your life if you will put your trust in Him. It’s not His desire that people mistreat you, but He does want to use it to help you draw closer to Him, and to help you become the woman He’s created you to be. If it was His desire for you to be with this other person, then His plans would have come to pass (Prov. 19:21). Instead, God’s kept you away from him. You can be sure that He had a reason for this. In fact, it’s not that difficult to see why, considering how he treated you. Maybe God kept you from an even greater heartache down the line.
I think it’s entirely possible that God wants to take you down a new road, one that is so much better than what you could imagine for yourself. Even when we’re feeling desolate and deserted, God can step in and do something new, showing us a way to something better (Is. 43:19). In Jeremiah 29:11, God tells us clearly, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.’” God wants you to have a blessed life. That doesn’t mean that things will be easy if you follow God’s will for you. But you can trust in the fact that He loves you and wants to see you have a life full of love, joy, and peace (John 10:10, 14:27, 15:9). If you will open your heart to Him, and determine to get to know Him by reading His word, you will begin to see how great and loving God really is, and how important you are to Him.
The bible says that God loves you so much that He sent His son to die on a cross for you, so that you could spend forever with Him in heaven (John 3:16, Rom. 3:23). You’ve got to decide if you will put your faith in Him, for both now and for eternity. By asking Jesus to be your Savior and forgive all of your sins, you’ll receive His salvation, and the Holy Spirit will come to live in your heart. It’s the Holy Spirit Who pours out God’s love into our hearts and gives us hope (Rom. 5:5). Even though we’ll still have troubles in this life, we will never be without hope again, because we’ll know that “greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world,” and He tells us to “be of good cheer—(He) has overcome the world.” (I John 4:4, John 16:33)
People will disappoint us, even break our hearts, but “He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.” (Ps. 147:3) God doesn’t want you, His beautiful daughter, to suffer needlessly. He wants to put you back together, put your feet on solid ground, and show you more love than you can ever imagine or comprehend (Eph. 3:19, Rom. 8:37-39). From before you were born, He’s always loved you (Is. 26:3). He will always be loving and faithful to you, and He’ll never break one of His promises (Ps. 145:13). He’s always got your best interests at heart. Doesn’t He sound like the One you should be putting your hopes in?
And if you will believe that God died to give you eternal life, then doesn’t it also make sense that God would never withhold something good from you if He wanted you to have it? (Ps. 84:11, Rom. 8:32) This relationship with this boy was not meant to be. But your relationship with God is what’s really important. Please don’t let your feelings drive you away from God, but bring them to Him instead, and believe that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think—it’s true! (Eph. 3:20-21) Ask Him to show you how great His power and love for you really are.
