Breaking Free After A Breakup預覽

God Wants Your Undivided Attention. 

What if this heartbreaking experience was divinely orchestrated by God? It’s not that He’s cruel or mean, but maybe He just loves you so much, in a strange kind of way. Would you believe that God might have been jealous of all that you were pouring into your partner and/or relationship? 

Scripture teaches us that God is a jealous God, and He despises the idea of us having idols (anything that we put before Him). Unlike the selfish jealousy that we’re accustomed to in this world, God is jealous FOR us, not OF us. In other words, He’s jealous when we put anything before Him, not because He’s hungry for our attention, but because He’s aware of our God-given hunger for Him. Because He does not want us to be deprived of our sole Life Source, Himself, He becomes jealous when we put anything before Him. 

So rather than spending time reminiscing and worrying, ask God to help you see His intentionality in allowing the breakup to occur. That way, you can maximize the time you have to give Him your undivided attention. 

How does it feel to know that God might not have simply allowed the breakup to happen, but might have orchestrated it? If you believe that God has your best interest at heart, can you believe that this break up was for your best interest?
