Whether it be a few weeks, a few months, or many years ago, sometimes your heart can keep hurting after a breakup for much longer than you expected. Why does this happen?
The term “unrequited love” refers to those relationship situations where you like someone more than they like you. This may occur when you like a friend who has no idea you have feelings for them. This may occur when your boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with you even though you wanted the relationship to continue. Or this may occur when you see a stranger over and over again and you form a strong desire for this person even though they don’t know you exist.
It would be unbiblical to assume that every physical affliction we experience is due to our disobedience towards God. God is very gracious towards us and he is eager to spare us of the punishment we deserve (2 Peter 3:9). In fact, this is the very reason Jesus came. He died the death we deserved so we could live free with him forever (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Do you have really strong feelings for someone that you are not in a relationship with? Perhaps you really like this person but for whatever reason you haven’t been given the chance to date them. Or maybe you did date them, it didn’t work out, and yet you still have really strong emotions about this person?
This is one of those articles you could misuse if you are not careful. Don’t just read the title and say to yourself, “Seeing this must be a sign God will bring this man back into my life.” Rather, really look at the points to see if these are relevant to you. If the points don’t apply, don’t assume God will bring this man back into your life.
