7 Verses To Encourage The Brokenhearted

Heartbreak can be hard. It can feel almost impossible to keep going when something or someone has left you in broken pieces. But God stays close to the brokenhearted, and He wants you to stay close to Him. Cling to Him.

Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

Psalm 147:3 says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

He not only stays close to the brokenhearted, but He heals them in the meantime. He may cut someone from your life for a purpose, but where He cuts He heals.

Matthew 11:28-30 says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

It can feel exhausting to keep trying to be "fine" and "happy" when people ask how you are. But God says to come to Him because He will give you rest. He knows you need rest and comfort.

Isaiah 43:1 says, "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine."

You are His. How comforting and awesome it is to know that the Maker of the universe calls me His!

Psalm 18:2 says, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Where do you take refuge when something goes wrong? God wants you to take refuge in Him. Talk to Him about it and He will be your rock and mighty fortress.

John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

It may seem like you're under a dark cloud right now that will not go away. But God is the light in the midst of the darkness. If you focus on Him, it will be brighter. You perceive what you focus on.

Revelation 21:4 says, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Good news! There will be no more tears from heartbreak in heaven! God will wipe away every tear and there will be no more pain! Hallelujah!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
