honeymoon
We’ve been through the wringer, haven’t we? That soul-crushing moment when love seemed to slip through our fingers like sand, leaving nothing but raw, aching emptiness. But here’s the truth that’ll set our hearts free: heartbreak isn’t the end—it’s a sacred invitation to something deeper.
We’ve learned that our honeymoon phase after heartbreak isn’t about finding someone new immediately. It’s about falling in love with ourselves first, with all our beautiful, broken pieces. We’re not putting ourselves back together; we’re creating something entirely new. As the scripture says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19)
There’s a tender vulnerability in choosing to keep our hearts open after they’ve been shattered. It’s not about being fearless—it’s about being brave enough to feel everything. Our hearts aren’t fortresses to be protected, but gardens that grow stronger with each season of healing. We’re learning that love isn’t something that happens to us; it’s something we continually choose.
The honeymoon we’re entering isn’t with another person—it’s with our own resilience. We’ll find ourselves dancing with joy in moments we once thought would break us. We’ll realize that every tear, every sleepless night, every moment of gut-wrenching pain was actually preparing us for a love more authentic than we’d ever imagined. “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Psalm 30:5).
Keeping our hearts open isn’t about forgetting the pain—it’s about transforming it. We’re not healing to go back to who we were, but to become someone more compassionate, more whole. Each wound becomes a window, each scar a story of survival. We’re learning that vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the most profound strength humans can possess.
So we’ll breathe. Trust the journey. Our hearts aren’t broken—they’re breaking open. And in this beautiful, messy process, we’ll discover that love never truly leaves us. It just keeps reshaping itself, inviting us deeper into our own magnificent, unfolding story. We’re not just surviving heartbreak—we’re alchemizing it into pure, radiant love.
