My dear friend told me yesterday that if you are made with a yearning to be in a marriage, that God will provide that for you. She said that sometimes the way is crooked because we have lessons to learn before the way is made clear so that we don't squander the gift when it comes, but that God doesn't make us to be forever broken. We are made to be whole, because we are made in His image.
Your time will come.
A long time ago, I wrote a list of stories that I'd heard from kind friends and family members of different ways in which hearts had been broken and mended again. All the stories had different ways of getting here (reconciliations with the original partner, happy marriages to new partners), but they all had happy endings. The only ones that didn't end up happier than they'd been before the heart break were the ones who weren't willing to be.
Your time will come. You're willing to do the work. Just be willing to be happy. Step out in faith. It's the dark before the dawn, but all will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well.
I've said a little prayer for you.
