Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

Hey girl,
Thanks for the awesome chat last night. I'm really glad that we can talk about things and get the misunderstandings cleared up. Thank you for being honest with me. I must say that it takes great courage to tell me how you feel. I just wish that there's something I can do to make you feel better but I guess it's not for me to help.
I know the affairs of the heart are really affecting you. What's more, this morning's revelation came as a shock to me. Haha, I'd have never expected it but I guess it does make sense. I hope you're not dwelling on these complicated matters but keeping focused on God and not let your emotions distract you from living a life of purpose and passion.
I know it's really difficult to get over it; remember that I'm in the same boat. (: But you know what, God is here to help! Pray that He will give you the strength and self-discipline to control your thoughts. Channel your energy and use your think-space for more significant things. It's not impossible to forget, it just takes time to dilute the feelings and wash away the painful memories. Give yourself that allowance to deal with it slowly, but yet know that in order to completely be free, you need to take action.
You may be thinking that letting go might be risky because you don't know if things will turn out differently. However, remember that God has a special someone reserved just for you! Who he is, you don't know yet, but when they time is right, he'll come along and you'll know that you've found the person God meant for you as a soulmate.
For me, I'm assured that I don't need to worry about things like that because it's all in God's hands. He has a special plan for my life, of which the details are still unknown, but I'll trust Him completely to direct my path and help me make the right decisions.
We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves?If you look at the big picture from the right perspective, I think we're all quite silly to get upset over small, insignificant little problems like these. It's a waste of time, energy, emotions and think-space to ruminate on them. I've learnt to keep my focus on God and not let my emotions rule my mind, not allowing myself to be distracted by clinging on to feelings which are slowly eating away at my faith and sanity. (:
My dear sister, I pray that you will find all that you need in God. He's the only one who can satisfy your need to be loved and love in return. Look to Him and you will find that peace and assurance which nothing else can give. If it's love you're looking for, you're barking up the wrong tree if you turning to mere people for emotionally dependent relationships. You don't want to get embroiled in those. Man disappoints, but God never does.
Anyways, I'll keep you in prayer and I hope that we can continue to be frank with each other. I had a great time last night laughing over the silly details we pointed out which were rather hilarious. It's good to take to these problems in a light-hearted manner and positive attitude. Sometimes, it's better not to take things too seriously. I try to laugh most of it off and it helps. (:
When there's a will, there's a way. When there is God, there'll definitely be a faster and more effective way! It's not something you can resolve on your own; you need God. As you seek Him with all of your heart and soul, you will find Him in the quiet place and He will come and fill the God-shaped vacuum in your heart, only if you let Him. As you place Him as the centre of your life and your first love, you will find that forgetting will become so much easier because the love of the Father is overtaking everything else.
God does not love as Man does, for He heals, He restores and He releases. May you find that love which you've been searching for in the Father's everlasting arms, for He is still there patiently waiting for you to come back into His embrace.
