You may feel like you are alone and unloved because the person you hold close to your heart left you. However, that is not true. If you look around you, you will find a lot of people who truly care about you, especially your family and friends. Aside from them, there is Someone above who loves you—and He understands what you go through. He is no other than your Father in heaven.

If you will read the Bible, you can find many of God’s promises that are meant to guide you in this life. Some of them also give assurance that at times when we are down and hurting, the Lord cares and He is willing to help you up. Only that, you need to allow Him to enter and work in your life. He does not push Himself on anyone.

Here are Bible verses that I hope can encourage you during this painful time. Read and believe them. They will make you stronger.

God loves the world so much—and that world is us, His creations, including you. Every time you are tempted to think that you are not worthy to be loved or no one will ever love you again, just think of the sacrifice God has done because of His love for you and me. He sacrificed His Son, Jesus, to die in our place as a payment for our sins, so we can have eternal life. You are bought with a high price—Jesus’ life—that is why you are special to God. He cares for you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will help you get through this. Just take the first step of surrendering your life to Him.
