One of the hardest truths to accept about the Christian life is that we are not immune to heartbreak, pain, and suffering. Relationship with Jesus undeniably brings peace, joy, and contentment—but we’re still imperfect human beings living in a fallen world, which means we’re going to experience all kinds of challenges.
Whether your heartbreak is the result of something you did wrong or some wrong done to you, know that Jesus is always there to comfort you in your pain. Whatever you’re feeling right now, Jesus has felt it too.
