In this episode, we (Joseph and Anu) discuss the sensitive subject of BREAKUPS. We touched on how to manage it and how to do it right (when it becomes necessary to do it). Some of the points discussed include the following:
- In the aftermath of a breakup, don't minimise your pain, hurt, or grief. Give expression to it.
- Maximise the learning opportunity that your break up affords you.
- Take time to heal (and learn) before 'jumping' into another relationship too soon.
- Even in your pain, God's providence is at work.
- Your breakup can be a feather to your cap. If you learn from your experience, you will be better off to have gone through the breakup experience—time will reveal this.
- If your ex is a Christain, don't forget that he/she is still God's child (and so, will always be your sibling eternally!)
- If anyone understands brokenness and its cousins, it's JESUS. Let Him heal you.
- There is a Christian way to break up. God can still be glorified even in your breakup.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCED
- “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:13-14).
