Looking Back on a Serious Breakup

I had one serious breakup in college with a young lady who, at one time, I believed I was going to marry. Even though I was the one who ended the relationship, there were still times after the breakup when I second-guessed my decision.

It was during that time I had to turn to the Word of God to help me through that season of adjusting back to life without that person. I had to trust God’s leading regarding His future plans for my life.

If a recently ended relationship is putting you down, then God’s word will help you remember that God is in control and that the best is yet to come.
