The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
Being broken is a feeling everyone goes through at some point in their lives. People who get broke are normally people who love with their hearts, trust others, and people who put themselves out there to receive love and hope in return. The Bible mentions a lot of instances where God was displeased by the deeds of mankind. Adam and Eve disappointed God right from the start of human existence.
God showed them love and kindness and they repaid him with disobedience and waywardness. You are made in God’s image and will sometimes be disappointed too by the people you love or have hope in. People have the free will to do anything they want just as you do. And when you choose to put your hope and trust in them, it can sometimes blow up in your face.
The people you love and trust may not necessarily reciprocate those feelings. They may pay you back with abuse, infidelity, cheating, betrayal, chaos, crime, theft, and so on. As a child of God, you will be affected by these vices and misfortunes. There is no way to measure a person’s true feelings for you. People can tell you one thing but have ulterior motives for you. The world will not treat you right because you have good intentions and are nice to people.
People will see your good nature as a weakness and will try to take advantage of you. This is why you must always draw close to God so he helps you get through these moments. Having God will give you perspective and it will help you heal and move on quickly. God will heal your broken heart and make you stronger with each negative experience. Keep your communication lines open with God always.
Never feel like you are alone. Never feel like you have to deal with things by yourself. Always pray to him in your best and worst times. He never sleeps and he is always watching you. Do not stop loving and being kind because someone breaks your heart. Despite all our iniquities, Christ died for us. Let yourself love unconditionally and God will always be with you.

Even as a Christian, there will be things that happen in your life that may cause your faith to waver. The most important thing to note is that God will always be by your side to listen to you. He will always be there to console and comfort you. Never feel like any situation is too big for you to handle. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself so that you may live eternally.
That ultimate sacrifice was made for you so that you could withstand any evil and live purely for God until you meet him in paradise. When you feel broken know that only God can heal you. And when he does you will be healed forever. Look up to him and talk to him when you feel unwanted or broken. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
