While there is nothing harder than having to watch the love of your life marry the love of theirs, don’t compare what it’s to come to what has left. Figure out what is God’s best for you, spend your life on that and don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. God is not done with you. Psalms 34:18 (MSG) says, “If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath”.

While there is nothing harder than seeing the person that made you the happiest be happy with someone else, don’t settle for anything because it is available and don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. Find yourself first and everything else will follow.

While there is nothing harder than giving someone everything only to be told you were their biggest mistake, don’t settle for what life gives you. Build something out of it, make it better and don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. You will eventually meet your soul mate.

While there is nothing harder than having to let go of someone you created an inseparable bond with, understand that your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. So be at peace with your heart and stop being worried and ashamed of your tears. Your tears are not an indicator that the one you love is not loving you right. Your tears are an indicator that you are not loving yourself the right way.

While there is nothing harder than saying goodbye to someone you truly love, don’t settle for a relationship that won’t let you be yourself and don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. Rest knowing that your tears are holy. Rest knowing that your tears are words. Rest knowing that you don’t choose what hurts you. Let go, knowing that God made those tears. And if God made them, your tears are never wasted, if they were, Jesus wouldn’t have wept (see John 11:35).

While there is nothing harder than saying goodbye to a relationship where the two people are still in love with each other, don’t settle for less just because it’s available and don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. Rest knowing that your tears are not forbidden, and they are not hidden from God.

While there is nothing harder than moving on or ending something that meant a lot, don’t allow your tears to sit in your throat and suffocate you. Most importantly, don’t see your tears as an indictment or a testimony that you have failed or that you will never find true love. Breathe in and let them go, knowing that your tears are not for nothing. For every teardrop, God sees you and your confidence in His promise.

Until tomorrow, don’t go back to the same place and same person where you are not appreciated begging for love and attention. If however you do, and they left you in pain and in tears, see it for what it is and know that your tears are not in vain, your prayers are not in vain and your work is not in vain. See it for what it is knowing that you deserve the love that makes you feel good and safe.

Endure with hope you that stumbled on this letter and be at peace with your heart, you owe it to yourself. You have a God who brings beauty from ashes and according to Psalms 56:8 (MSG), He has kept track of every one of your toss and turns through the sleepless nights, He has entered each tear in His ledger, and written each ache in His book.

May you look at your life after today and feel at peace because you are no longer going to be ashamed of your tears. May you look at your life and see the beauty that God has placed there. May your past become the wisdom that helps mould your future! May your experiences be the key to your upcoming success! May your past not define who you have become, but how far you have come. May your past not hurt you in your future.

May your tears of pain be turned into tears of joy. May it cleanse your soul and end at the feet of Jesus. May your tears wash away all the pain you carry in your heart and may your tears heal your wounds. May your heartbreak receive healing so that you can love again.

Be encouraged,
Ali Papa.
