If you just had a really bad breakup, you probably are not a fan of the title of this article. But just keep reading and you may find out that there is more than one way to see through the hurt. I understand how it feels. Trust me, I had those heartbreaks where you feel like the air has been knocked out of you and it hurts to breathe. I understand how it feels laying in your room wondering if this feeling will ever go away. Let me assure you, it does go away. Not immediately, every day it gets easier and easier. Then one day you meet this guy and he makes you completely forget about any heartbreak that you ever went through and heals all the wounds left behind by those broken relationships. One day you wake up beside the person that you love more than life itself , and it is all worth it. However, there a quite a few reasons that you should be thankful for heartbreak.

1. There may be an opportunity in your life that you would've missed out on had you stayed in that relationship. Think about it. For somebody in college, maybe there is a study abroad trip you really wanted to go on but you couldn't stand to be away from your significant other. Now go. Have the time of your life. See places and meet people and know that this hurt may be the opening of a door that could change your life.

2. There is a better plan. I believe that God has a plan and for those who believe in him that all things will work out for our good and His glory. His timing is better tha, I know that as a fact. You can't see the damage that a relationship is doing to you until you are removed from that relationship. Your purpose and abilities could have been held back by this and there was just a better plan for your life and in order for that plan to work out this particular relationship had to be removed.

3. You deserve more. Here is the thing that I think many people tend to forget. A relationship ended for a reason. Usually, one person was putting in all the work or one person was unfaithful. If you are the person who received the heartbreak chances are you were putting in all the effort or were cheated on. I know you may not feel like it right now but you just deserve more as a person. God has such huge plans for your life that you cannot even imagine and being a doormat to another person is NOT the end point of that plan. One day you will look back through the hurt and realize that you were made for so much more than the relationship you were in.
