While we were discussing the miracles Christ performed, we
were asked, “Why does God allow us to suffer?” As I pondered this question, I
was reminded that Heavenly Father does not allow our hearts to break because we
have done something wrong or just because He wants to. He allows our hearts to
break so we can experience the miracle of the Atonement. Yes, this life will
have disappointments. We may lose a dear loved one, make mistakes that seem
beyond repair, lose a cherished relationship. But these experiences only draw
us closer to Christ if we let them. There is no pain, sorrow, disappointment or
broken heart that cannot be repaired by the hands of Christ. It is through
Christ our broken hearts become a “Beautiful
Heartbreak.”
“Every fear, every doubt, all the pain I went through,
Was the price that I paid to see this view.
And now that I’m here, I would never trade
The grace that I feel and the faith that I find
Through the bitter-sweet tears and the sleepless nights.
I used to pray He’d take it all away.
But instead it became a beautiful
heartbreak.”
