The greatest pain I ever experienced was that of a broken heart, my first real love. I gave my heart to this young man with hopes of marriage, yet fate would deal us a different hand. I remember it vividly, the dissimulation of our relationship caused me to feel physically ill and emotionally stressed. Nausea and a draining weakness were constant reminders of my great loss. Hope had left my soul.
How wonderful love can be, yet how painful when our deep feelings for another are not returned, expectations are unequal, or, for whatever reason, love can no longer 'be.' In such cases, one feels rejected, hopeless, and alone; in other words, devoid of love.
There is One in life to Whom we can give our love freely, yet have absolutely no worry of Him rejecting those who put their faith in His hands. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
What an awesome love Christ has for all of mankind! So great, He sacrificed His own life, allowed his blood to be shed so that it could wash away the sins of those who believe in Him. Once we are His, God will never leave nor forsake us. He is faithful to His word.
As long as we are on this earth, in flesh and blood form, life will have its disappointments and love will always hold some degree of uncertainty. Thankfully, nothing can separate Believers from the love of God.
... for He [God] Himself has said, "I will not, in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not*, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]" [Josh 1.5] - Hebrews 13.5
