Bible Question: I need spritual help! I have troubled heart and soul. I have a feeling that something is missing in my life. I have 2 wonderful little girls 8 years and 9 months old, a good job, a nice car and a place to call home. I have ended my relationship with my youngest daughter's father some months ago. It was a really bad relationship that ended horriably. I don't know if I am missing being with a man for the compantionship/ friendship. Or if I am missing being a meaningful relationship. I am ready to settle down and get married to set a positive Christian example for my girls. But, to be honest I am truely lost. I don't know what I want. I just know that I have a sense that something is missing in my life. But, I don't know what. I still love my ex (which is hard to admit since there was physical and emotional abuse). I know that he and I could never be again because of our past together. I could go on but I won't. I just need to know what is wrong with me and why do I feel incomplete. Please help me if someone can. |
Bible Answer: Dear Cynthia, I am so sorry to hear about all you're going, and have gone, through. The words of a song immediately come to my mind: "Does Jesus care when my heart is pained?" The answer is a resounding, "O yes, he cares!" The Bible invites hurting people like you to "Cast all your care upon Him [Jesus]; for He careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Cynthia, I know this must be really hard for you - too much for words to express. Please take comfort in knowing that "In the heart of Jesus, there is love for you - love must kind and tender, love most deep and true..." In Jesus' own words, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). You are not alone in this issue. One of my favourite Bible stories, in fact, is the story recorded in John 4 about a woman who had also gone through painful relationships. It is a beautiful story of how Jesus meets the needs of the aching heart. Please read it when you get a chance. I would love to encourage you more, but I am constrained to keep this post short. Many, many who have been in painful situations have found invaluable spiritual help at the following resources: http://www.discoveronline.org/ and http://vop.com/. I will be praying for you. From my heart, Tuggy P.S. Healthy relationships and family are important to the Lord. Seek Him first, and He will provide for your needs. |
