"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I
set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
There was a song long time ago entitled breaking up is hard to do. Here are some of the lyrics: beg of you don't say goodbye.Can't we give our love another try.Come on baby let's start a new'cause breaking up is hard to do.
Doo, doo, doo down doo be do down, down Come on come on Down doo be do down, down Come on come on Down doo be do down, down Breaking up is hard to do.
It seems we pride ourselves in understanding the basics of flirting and winning the other one over to us, but when it comes to breaking up we're at a loss how to do this gracefully and still be friends. I remember a time in high school where I would be just making small talk with a girl ( yes, my son I was young once) and the girl would confide in me that her soon to be ex boyfriend was going to kill himself if she broke up with him. Through the years I would hear about news stories of young love taking the detour when his girl friend winds up dead. Initially, he denies this really happened until one day the teenage boy cracks by admitting that he killed her when she was trying to break up with him. The sad reality is thinking of all the boy's who are behind bars because they didn't have the tools to accept rejection gracefully.
Doo, doo, doo down doo be do down, down Come on come on Down doo be do down, down Come on come on Down doo be do down, down Breaking up is hard to do.
The missing piece to the whole boy meets girl, girl breaks up with boy formula is recognizing what it says in Jerimiah 1:5 which is how God knew each one us before we were born. Instead of encountering feelings of betrayal when someone breaks up with us shouldn't we pray to God to show us the young lady we should marry? After all if we are to take this verse seriously then the God who formed our very innards should know best regarding who would be the right match for our life.
I remember being in an awkward situation when I was invited to join my girlfriend who was going to introduce me to her parents and discovering that the guy she had been dating before we met also arrived at the same open house. Fortunately, I knew this guy and naturally struck up a conversation with him. Although he didn't know the couple the open house was honoring the friend who invited him did. You can imagine how mortified my girlfriend felt when she watched me going for a walk with him. What she didn't know was I was listening to him tell me how hard it was accepting the break up with her. I encouraged him by listening to him as he processed his pain and reminding him that he will recover from the break up, but it will take time.
As he left with his friend he came up and shook our hands and the hands of her parents and he had a smile on his face when he went out the door. Yes, breaking up is hard to do, but it is easier knowing that just as the words from Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us that God knows what we need and He will provide that to us in his time.
I beg of you don't say goodbye .Can't we give our love another try. Come on baby let's start a new
'cause breaking up is hard to do.
With God's help breaking up can be made easier knowing that God knows your most inner most being and he knows what is best for you!
