Where do broken hearts go?

Have you ever had your heart broken? I think we’ve all had at some point in our lives, and not all of them had to be romantically.

But where do you go when you feel like your heart has been torn apart? The destination you choose can either make things worse or begin a healing process. And that destination doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical place.

Some escape within themselves and put up barriers to keep others out, which is never a good thing. Some sink into depression and anger, which add even more misery.

Hearts will heal. It might not seem so, but they do. The thing is what you use and where you go will either help or hinder the process.

Hurt Seeks A Reason

“You caused my heart to bleed/And you still owe me a reason/Cause I can’t figure out why.” from So Cold by Ben Cocks and Nikisha Reyes

Have you ever heard those lines from that song? When I did, I asked myself, Do we need to know why we’re being hurt in order to heal?

From broken relationships of any kind, to someone dying, a lost of a job or something important, etc., do we have to know from people, including God, what are the reasons for the pain before we try to pick up the pieces and move on?
