Can a Broken Heart be Healed?
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." (1 John 4:18)
Heart to Heart
A Dedication from My Heart to Your Heart
This is dedicated to all those very lovely friends here in HP Town whose loving hearts have been stomped on by those who are just out to collect as many hearts as they are able, despite the pain inflicted and left behind. I have read the most heartrending poetry about how true hearts have been broken into pieces. All of these lovely persons (both men and women) are such caring and loving persons who deserve to be treated better and know of that true love from another.
Enjoy this very dramatic video! "Who do you think you are?"
"The Ice Inside Your Soul . . ."
That Emotional Aching Inside Your Chest
One can experience a “broken heart” when one is deeply disappointed or grieved over a life circumstance when we lose a loved one, whether a spouse, child or even a beloved pet.
Then there is the other matter of when one’s heart is completely shattered to pieces by someone we thought truly loved us, but it was just a big lie. And to further the agony that person attempts to come back into our lives and continue to further damage our already broken hearts.
Not a Pretty Sight
What does Your Picture of Love Look Like?
Does your picture of love look like this?
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
If your picture of love looks a lot different than that of the above-quoted scripture of what true love really looks like, then there may be cause for concern.
Let's Peek Inside Your Heart and See What is Going On . . . Well Maybe not too much Peeking : )
After my morning devotion and time spent with Him, these words were burned into my heart, and so I share them with you . . .
Poem ~ Anguish of Heart
Oh, my lovely darlings,
Your hearts wrench within you
With emotional flooding
Mourning in complaint
Weary from the treachery and ingratitude of men
Longing to hide
Needing rest, so that you may know of that quietness
Without contortion from your sorrowful soul
Exceeding in pain
When your heart like wax, melts
You are utterly crushed
Sighing is your daily consumption
And your groans pour out of you
You are numb
You shake and are very saddened
You are completely devastated
Crying out loudly for your heart is in turmoil
You are broken beyond measure
For that net was spread for your feet
And made you desolate
Your eyes fail from weeping
Because of this, your hearts are faint
And your eyes grow dim
As you were smitten unto excess
So much pain, no words to describe the feeling
Your distress and hurting seem too great to bear
Grasping for words to describe the depth of the pain
You are paralyzed, suffering acutely
Unable to think clearly
Allow Your Hearts to Fly free on the Wings of a Dove
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit (Psalms 34:18).”
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3)”
Poem ~ Hope for the Heart ~
Oh, my lovely darlings,
I desire to bring hope to your hurting hearts
My hope is that my prayer is a salve for every sore,
And a relief to the spirit under every burden
That you change your focus
Away from your own pain
To the Lord’s love,
Thereby, reminding of God’s faithfulness
May the men and women in your lives be the wisest and best
Those who covet peace and quietness
Oh, my lovely darlings,
Fly away and be at rest as on the wings of a dove!

Have you experienced a broken heart at the hands of one who seems to collect hearts and who attempts to return to cause more agony?
Woo hoo good one here ~ "You stole my happy" and that is not good when that happens . . .
Faith believes that God will plant the seeds of hope for tomorrow in the garden of our hearts today.
— Janet L. Weaver SmithAllow a loving heart and hands to hold your broken heart.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." (Matthew 5:6)
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." (Psalm 56:8)
There Will Always be Something Missing . . .
Even when we are in a good relationship and all is going well in our lives . . . in love, family, friends, finances, etc., there will always be that hole inside of us that, no matter what, seems to never be satisfied . . . and, as for me, that hole was filled with having that personal and intimate relationship with Him, who is truly the only One who can satisfy in this life. This has just been my experience.
He places your tears in a bottle. Now, what does that mean? God knows your sorrows and struggles. He knows every tear that you shed. If your God knows and cares for the birds of the air and all other living creatures, He certainly knows and cares about your situation.
I love you all and my heart aches terribly when I know your heart is broken.

Hi Faith, wow, I love this hub. You're so right! God is the missing piece of the puzzle. I like the scripture passages you cited on the broken hearted. The song is very appropriate too. Don't hate the player, hate the game! Let's see what's going on inside my heart? Last time I checked it was still beating. Lol. I take after my mother who raised me to be a strong woman. Don't make someone a priority when you're only an option in theirs. voted up+++ hugs and blessings my sweet friend.
When your heart like wax melts.. I like how you portray the emotions of pain through the use of imagery. Thanks for being who you are and for spreading some hublove among this wonderful community of writers. xoxox
It was a promise that kept me strong and on course though my heart was broken,
So beautifully written the heart is vulnerable if you make it and what an interesting poem.
Dear Faith, as usual I admire your heartfelt devotion to your faith, and am so happy for you that it brings you so much joy each day. I think we all try for happiness, in spite of the trials that life can bring, and it is a great reminder that we can carry on and find true delight in life by appreciating a Higher Power every day. In this way the nasty deeds of others can be reduced to just that - nasty deeds instead of heart breakers.

Hi sweet Marlene (lovedoctor),
I am blessed twice this day by your visits here! Thanks for such enthusiastic comments.
You are such a beautiful person with a loving heart, and I am glad you are so strong, and that your mother raised you right to be a lovely strong woman. You deserve only the best in this life and to be treated lovingly by all.
I am so glad you loved this hub. And you're so welcome my sweet friend.

Hi Dearest Vicki,
Always a pleasure when you visit! Thank you so much for your insight and wonderful comments which add much to the subject matter of this hub.
Yes, we must know who we are and not allow others to continually attempt to come back to harm us.
My heart aches for all those I know who are suffering from a broken heart at the hands of another who is really clueless as to the harm he or she is causing by being so selfish and uncaring along their pathways in this life.
I wanted to attempt to convey a little hope for those whose hearts are broken, as it is truly a painful ordeal to have to endure.
Blessings, Faith Reaper

Oh dear, Mh,
I thought you were away again, but now I see you have written some hubs!!! I have not seen any of your notifications, but I remember last week that I was having a problem of about half of my hub email going to spam. Once I checked it, there were hundred in my spam email that were not spam! So, I had reset my email setting to fix it, which I thought it did, but I just checked it again, and there are HP emals in it again!
I will catch up to your writings, and I am actually glad that is all it is in lieu of you being so sick once again and having to go to the hospital : )
Hugs and love, Faith Reaper
A lovely tribute, Faith, and a wonderful show of compassion. You have obviously been there before as it shows in the emotions of this beautiful hub.

Hi Dearest Bill,
Always a blessing when you stop by to read! Thank you so much for your kind comments.
Actually, I have been fortunate to not have a broken heart in the love area, as I was married at the young age of 19 and still married. However, it is through my relationship with my Lord that I am able to feel compassion and relate to those whose hearts have been shattered. When I read the heartrending poetry here of my friends who hearts continue to be shattered by those unworthy of their love, my heart breaks into a million pieces for them.
Now, I have had other relationships in my life that did cause some pangs to my heart in the areas of where friends have betrayed me, and so, of course, that is a painful thing to have to endure no doubt.
Blessings to you this lovely day, Faith Reaper
Faith, you are always on top with your beautiful hubs of forgiveness and love . beautiful images.. awesome words of inspiration and as always never give up hope for finding true love . When it is meant to be... it will happen. Most people do jump at the first sign of love not realizing that it is lust and when it fades... they only then realize that it was not love and begin to search again.
Love and hugs for this awesome hub.. my sweet.

Hello my sweet and dear friend, Michael (cleaner3),
Always such a joy and blessing to me when you stop by to read and comment.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments here this day.
My heart really breaks for those whose hearts are broken into pieces by those who really do not care whether they break hearts. I know of so many loving and beautiful persons right here in HP Town, who deserve to be loved and respected they way they should be, and I pray that God places the right person in their lives who will do just that, love them unconditionally and true.
Hugs and love to you from southern USA, Faith Reaper

Faith Reaper,
You have one of the most beautiful hearts! I'm never disappointed in reading your hubs. 1 Corinthians is my utmost favorite description of what unconditional love really is because it applies straight across the board from romantic love to platonic love.
I will also say that I am glad I am not feeling emotional today or listening to that dramatic first song might've made me cry!
Probably most of us have been hurt by love sometime and it is something we never forget but at least we can tap into that memory for a few good poems. lol Or a few hundred!
You are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband to never cause you heartache. God has blessed you indeed.
Beautiful hub! ^
- Author
Hi Dearest shanmarie,
Aw, thank you so much for such lovely words here this day! You have a precious heart to leave such wonderful comments. Yes, 1 Corinthians just about covers it all, as God is certainly in the love business, as He is divine love, that true agape love no doubt!
This first song is so very dramatic. Chrintina Perri is my new favorite artist, well, she is pretty new to me, and I just love all of her songs. There is just something about her voice.
I am glad you are not in one of those places today where you would cry, so that is a good thing. However, crying is good to0, to let it out. If one were in an emotional state, that song will bring on the tears or either get one fired up to not take any mess from any of those collectors of hearts!
Hugs and love to you always, Faith Reaper

Hi dearest Jackie,
Yes, most of us have, in some form or fashion, and maybe not by a lover, experience some type of heartache. Well, I would not go as far to say, just because I have been married my whole life :) there hasn't been any heartaches or maybe I should say headaches : ), which is normal in any marriage, but we just work through it and go on.
Yes, I believe there are probably a couple of thousand or more brokenhearted poems out there in this world that have been written by those with broken hearts no doubt!
I am glad you think this is a beautiful hub.
Hugs, Faith Reaper
They always are beautiful with all the gorgeous pictures you put and your beautiful writings and the flow down the page is a magical experience!

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the double blessing tonight! Oh, wow, how lovely sweet friend. I thought you were speaking of all the hundreds of thousands, most likely, of brokenhearted poems out in the world.
What a beautiful comment. There is no button to push for awesome comment, so I will just say "awesome comment" :)
Hugs, Faith Reaper
Very creative, thoughtful and encouraging. Your heart is in the right place, and I want mine there with yours. Beautiful verses!
This is wonderful! How hasn't suffered and went through rejection? I have a couple of poems that talks about pain beyond physical feelings. Love that poetry and your closeness to our creator. Keep it up Faith!

Oh, yes, Vinaya, the issues are irrelevant now, as I was able to download it in lieu of copying and pasting or just saving it as a picture, so that it would show up great, as it does!

Again, I appreciate you.

Yes, Faith, you have captured this feeling well. I recall when my heart was broken many years ago and it hardly seemed possible that the sun would ever shine again. But it did and it does. And a new day dawned.
Hope for that new tomorrow and for the opportunity for a new experience that would not end that way kept me going.
Thank you, dear sweet Friend, for giving a voice to the feelings many of us have felt. Angels are on the way in abundance this morning. :)

What a beautiful hub. Full of genuine sentiment and love. We should all take a lesson from this and be thankful for the very good things that we have in our lives.

It is always so sad and wrenching to see someone suffer at the hands of another. Though our hearts are not fragile they can be broken so easily. Your poem, your words, the photos, simply touching and compassionate. You show the love of the Lord in all you do dear one.

Beautiful, by all definitions, Faith Reaper,
Oh my goodness, for one, I had to scroll for ten minutes to get down here, I kid you not! :D Obviously your loving and compassionate heart draws people here anyway, but I believe you really struck a chord with so many with this one. Not only have most people probably experienced heartache, but we all want to know what someone cares and loves us; that is what you do. I've never seen anyone so uplifting and caring for others as you. The things you say come from your heart and it is obvious, you're not offering just words but your heart with them. This is just simply an amazing gesture and my emotions are all over the place with it; so touching and so needed!
That was the first time I'd ever heard that Christina Perri song and I loved everything about it... I'm so glad you brought that to my attention!
The poetry itself was beautiful and enough to bring a tear to my eye. I really believe you have the whole concept of love down, from your love of other people, your Faith, your loved ones, and honestly, love for yourself, which I'm learning to realize is necessary for all other love to truly exist and thrive.
You are such a wonderful example of how to live!
Up and sharing of course!
Hugs and love, Cat
If all women were like you Faith Reaper, every day of a man's life would bring nothing but joy, and wives and husbands everywhere would indeed be living happily ever after.A good heart is hard to find.
Wonderful words you bring, to lift tired Spirits, who have had the sunshine stolen from their beating thing.
Yours Sincerely,
Romeo's Quill

Hi Dearest Cat,
Always a good day when you grace my hub space with your presence!
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. You are always so kind and genuine.
I have just recently discovered Christina Perri myself. I just really love all of her songs so far that I have heard. She has a unique voice and her videos are always dramatic.
Yes, to truly love another, one must have that love inside of oneself and be able to love oneself too, which is not an easy thing to do, until we look at ourselves at our sweet Lord God does, then we realize just how beautiful we are in His eyes. Always remember, just how beautiful you are in His eyes. You are more valuable than any of the rarest gems on this planet. You truly are, so you should never settle, as you truly deserve one who will love you for you, just as you are, just as He does!
I am blessed to have met you via HP and to know you as a writer too!

I appreciate your kind words here and the votes up.
I have a feeling you are here through Cat's share : ) She is a beautiful person too.
Hugs and love, Faith Reaper
Oh yes, I remember that horrible pain caused by someone you thought would never-ever hurt you. Sadly, or maybe fortunately, a healed heart is harder and tougher. So true: Even in the happiest relationships something is not perfect. But only because of our own egoistic expectations. The more we have, the more we want. Humans are inherent greedy, and so often arrogant, believing that others, including God, should realize all their hopes and dreams.
Beautiful message. Thank you, Faith :)
Hi, Faith! You'd be right that I came by through Cat's share! She is an amazing person! :D
- Author
Hi Dearest Martie,
Yes, you may be right on that "fortunately" part, being our hearts do heal and get tougher for sure!!!
So true, once again, there is no such "perfect" relationship and being married my whole life, I know that fact : ) he he he
As marriage, even to the right person, is not always a picnic no doubt, but we just have to work things out through communication, which is key!
Thank you for your lovely words here and those that add much to the subject of this hub too.

Dearest Faith, How beautiful is this hub! There is a hole .. a God shaped void which only He can fill. So many chase after finding their soul mate and are crushed and pained in the process - never understanding that God completes and makes one whole.
I love your heart sweet friend and it shines as you pour out compassion and it is life giving.
I liked this so much "May the men and women in your lives be the wisest and best. Those who covet peace and quietness." Surrounding our lives with those who are wise and covet peace and quietness is to protect our hearts from use and abuse.
Thanks for a beautiful beautiful hub.

Hi Dearest LadyFiddler,
So glad to see you here this day. You are a really busy lady no doubt and I am proud that you are working on your new book and website, how exciting!
Yes, He can heal the brokenhearted indeed!
What a lovely gesture and I am very humbled that you would even think of me and using my poems on your website. The only thing is that HP will say that it is duplicate material if you do it in that manner, and your HP friend's poems will get unpublished by HP, as they will see it on another site. However, you are certainly welcome to use a link to a poem that is located at the very bottom of hubs down in the gray area where it states HubPages . . . about us . . . link, and if you click on that link and copy the link you may do so on your site, then all people will have to do is click on the link and it will take one to the hubber's poem on HubPages. You can write something on your website like "Sharing poetry by so-and-so on HubPages and then link it, just like when we share to Facebook, it is the link that shows up then people can click on the link and read their poetry if they so choose to do so.
God bless you and I will pray for you much success with your book and website. As He tells us in His Word, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Hugs and love, Faith Reaper
Faith,
I stopped by to say hello. How are you doing.

Hi Vinaya,
So nice to see you, and I noticed you had published a hub earlier. I am playing catch up here. Oh, I see you changed your avatar! Must come to see.
God bless you too!
Faith: I just got to this lovely hub. Your poems are beautiful. I love the Corithians quote from the Bible - I have always lived by that definition of love. It is so true and exactly what love is. Any other definition is not really love. You have such a beautiful and loving heart, Faith. Thank you so much for linking my poem to this hub. You are just so sweet and I am so glad our paths crossed here on HP. You truly are a God send!
- Author
Hi suzette,
It is always so lovely when you stop in to read! Aw, you are so kind to leave such lovely comments here. Yes, I really love the Corinithians quote too, as you say, it truly sums up exactly what true love is without a doubt!
Oh, I am blessed too that our paths have crossed here in HP Town, as well as to read your amazing writing.
God bless you sweet friend,

A beautiful tribute. So many of us have been there. Nice hub with all the pictures and videos. Great message, too, at the end. I love Casting Crowns. Well done.

Hi Victoria Lynn,
So great for your visit here this day! Thank you for your kind comments here. Yes, I really love Casting Crowns too. They are one of my favorites here of late.
God bless, Faith Reaper
Took awhile to get down here. LOL Beautiful words of wisdom as always Faith. True story, I know that God brought my wife and I together. Both of us prayed for the same things, a true love, children, ect. Every one has been answered. We've been together for 12 years now and we still act like we just met yesterday. If you mean it from the heart and soul, it shall be answered. When you find that special someone, you'll know it. I've been very blessed, sometimes blind, but I am human. Your a beautiful heart and soul dear Faith, a blessing for us all. Voted up, useful, awesome, beautiful, interesting, and shared. Thanks for your words of wisdom:)
- Author
Oh, my goodness dearest lyric,
How sweet of you to share such, and God is so awesome to answer both of your prayers, for no doubt that you two being together with children was certainly His will!!!
You have blessed me here this day with such a special share here of God's amazing love for you and your precious family. Praise Him!
Yes, precious heart, when one finds that special someone, you surely will know it. My heart is filled with such joy for knowing all of this that you have shared here.
I appreciate the votes up and share.
Thank you for glorifying our sweet Lord God here in your comments in sharing a wonderful testimony to the power of praying His will in your life and your wife's life and children's lives, for I know your children are blessed beyond measure to have you both for parents.
That is so wonderful that you have known of such true love with your wife for 12 years and act like you just met!!! WOW : ) Sweeeeet !!!!
God bless you. In His Love Always, Faith Reaper
Faith there is nothing like heartbreak or ache that can disrupt the whole body it's an unexplainable feeling I don't think anyone can ever express that feeling that digs and grates the heart inside.
Thanks for sharing , a blessed weekend to you and your family ;)

Hi Jo (LadyFiddler),
Yes, it surely can do that sweetie! And it truly pains my heart when I know of those who have had to experience such pain from a broken heart, as this life is so very hard no doubt.
I hope you have a very blessed weekend too.
Hugs and love your way from southern USA, Faith Reaper
Hello Faith,
What a beautiful and touching hub, both sad and inspiring. It could have also been called "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted".
I saw one of your comments on a hub by the wonderful Nellieanna and had to check your profile. Glad I did. 1 Corithians 13: 4-7 is one of my favorite Biblical quotes. To write things so touching as you have only comes from someone who has experienced heartbreak themselves. keep up the good work. Now I have to check out more of your hubs, and please if you have the time take a peak at mine 'Love and Other Muses".
- Author
Hello Jodah,
So nice to meet you. Oh, yes, Nellieanna is a rare gem on this planet, actually she is more beautiful than the rarest of gems on this planet, as is her poetry.
Yes, that would have been a good title indeed too. 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7 is one of my favorites as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read and leave such generous comments. I do look forward to reading some of your work. During the week, I work in the city, so I have an hour commute to and fro and am away from my home over 10 hours in the day; however, I will love to read some of your work when I arrive back home in the evening after 6:00 p.m. or later.
Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Faith Reaper
Excellent job here.Broken heart will turn into a stronger one within hope, without it ,it will remain the same.Voted up!

This is so very detailed with so much love for those who are hurting.
I really am blessed every time I stop in. I don't know how I missed this one. Just beautiful! Voted this Up to the angels and shared, tweet and facebook! This is definitely worth sending to as many who need to know that " if their hearts are broken, let the Lord God, who really loves hold them close and help to heal their broken hearts."
Blessings always..

Aw, Dear Jo,
I am sorry that I just now saw your lovely comment here from two days ago! Thank you so much for reading. I know you are hurting now and I pray the Lord comforts you during this time of transition in your life.
The Lord is One who we can count on during our times of distress. When we call out to Him, He hears and will relieve us of such distress.
He is so very close to the brokenhearted.
Hugs and love to you, sweet friend.
Love gone wrong can be heart wrenching but for me when it did it turned to be one of the best things that ever happened in my life .
I found a new love who made me feel loved and made me find the me that I had lost.
Beautifully shared Faith... You are a precious soul and I am blessed to have 'met' you.
Love and blessings and hugs on the way via those precious Angels.
ps

Hi Patricia, I am so glad you found the one who made you feel loved, and I understand that initial heartbreak actually being the best thing to happen so you were able to know of that true love. Thank for your kind words. You are a precious friend and a blessing to me and to many. Love, blessings, hugs and many Angels your way.

Hello Svea,
I am glad this was helpful to you in getting over your relationship. I appreciate the links, but HubPages does not like links in comments on hubs, so I cannot approve. However, I am so glad you did stop by to read and this article is helpful.
Bless you
Hi Faith, I just read your lovely comment on my new poem, "Finding Freedom," and I decided to pay your page a visit. To my surprise, I saw this article staring me right in the face. I think it was fate.
This was a great article to encourage others who have experienced heartbreak. You are such a caring and loving person. I loved the poems you added as well. How funny is it that we picked the same song for our heartbreak hubs...."Jar of Hearts"
- Author
Hi Lovely Missy,
I am so happy to see you popping over to my side of HP Town to brighten my space. I am glad you found this article encouraging, especially for those who have experienced heartbreak. I am no true poet as you are, but I do appreciate your generous comment.
Yes, as far as the "Jar of Hearts" song! I love Christina Perri's music. She is very dramatic.
I am a late night/early evening commenter, being I work in the city during the week with an hour commute ...but I always will make my rounds in support of those I follow.
My prayer is that those whose hearts have been broken, that they will allow healing and be open to being loved again. We must always be open to loving and allowing ourselves to be loved, although there is the risk of having our hearts broken over and over. I believe that is why we are still here, is to love and be loved.
Hugs
Well dear one.. let me shame myself for being so long away from your writing.. I must say you still are the best at hubs.. at life and faith in the Lord above... that being said ..I have missed being here.. and missed conversing with you ..
great hub Tree... of course as always..
love the video and accompanying images.....
hope all is well with you.. and your family... bless you ..

Hi dear stick : ) ...oh, no shame necessary. I am happy though to see you here on my pages again. I have been remiss in publishing anything here of late. I am well, dear heart, and thank you for asking.
You are still the real deal of a poet as I have been reading on G+.
Thank you for telling me you miss me and miss conversing with me ...that is sweet, Michael. I miss you too being here on HP and reading your amazing poetry in HP Town.
Well, please don't be a stranger for too long again.
Hugs and blessings to you
Faith you truly have to go through heartbreak to know love a second time and when you open up your heart a second time you will find more love than you could ever imagine.
Thumb-up UABI and shared

Hi Shyron,
Thank you for sharing a beautiful thought here. I have been married to the same man since I was 19, and I am so blessed to have never experienced such heartbreak in the area of love of spouse. But, of course, there are many other heartbreaks to endure in this life.
I remember being so forlorn when reading of all the lovely persons here on HP who have experienced heartbreaks at the hands of one who they thought loved them.
I appreciate the thumbs up and more and share.
You are a doll.
God bless you, precious one
