If you’ve ever had a serious romantic relationship, you know how thrilling and satisfying it can be to love and be loved. But if you’re like most of us, you also know what it feels like to have that reciprocal joy ripped away and replaced by the deep anguish of having your heart broken when your beloved rejects you and leaves the relationship. The pain of such a thing can be so intense that it literally incapacitates us from doing anything productive for a time.
Even worse than just losing someone this way, imagine that the reason for the breakup is something awful you did to betray your beloved. So now, the person who once cherished you despises you, thus compounding the already unbearable pain of loss with the guilt and self-loathing of having only yourself to blame for it. You deserve to be hated, as evidenced by the fact that you even hate yourself for what you’ve done and what it’s cost you.
The guilty heartbroken are far more right than they know when they describe this as being in hell, something no one would voluntarily endure…unless He was our Savior.
