Broken Heart On Hold
by Linda Rooks
When It Doesn't Make Sense
When the person who promised to love and cherish you for the rest of your life walks out the door or abandons you emotionally, it doesn't make sense. you committed yourselves to one another for a lifetime. you thought your spouse regarded that commitment the same way you did. Now that commitment appears to have been an illusion. Something entirely different is going on in your mate's mind, and your marriage hangs in the balance.
Your mind races out of control. How did this happen? What happened? When did it start? What is he going to do? What will I do? Your body feels as though it is tearing apart. And, in fact, your life is being ripped apart. If you ever get to sleep at night, you wake in the morning thinking it has all been a nightmare. But chances are you've hardly slept. And it's not a nightmare, it's real.
When our perception of the world collides with reality, and we can no longer process it mentally, physically, or emotionally, that is when we need to process it spiritually. Only on a spiritual level can it make sense. Only when we go deeper into the spiritual realm by spending more time with God and his Word and seeking the wisdom of other Christians can we get beneath the pain that comes from something that doesn't make sense.
You may well have just entered the most intense spiritual experience of your life. Choose this day to look up to God rather than down into the abyss of your circumstances. You may never again experience anything so intensely painful, but God is standing there beside you. Reach out to him. Let him hold you.
