A Broken Heart

Everyone is broken, regardless of age, gender, social status, ethnicity...
The fact of being broken is actually a gift from God. The brokenness is so personal and unique that no other human beings suffers the same way as you suffer. That's why we find so hard to express our sympathy towards a broken heart. Your brokenness simply resembles the uniqueness of yourself. Your brokenness is something that God has put in you. It's another way for God to say that you are the beloved creation of His and you are special.

Once we start to accept and appreciate our brokenness, I guess it's the time that we can truly accept and appreciate the uniqueness of others.

Love starts with self acceptance, agree?
