So why did the God with the power to do anything allow the darling of your heart to hurt you? Because God is love. Untold thousands of people break up with God every single day. If the Almighty refuses to lessen his own pain by forcing them into submission, do not insult him by expecting him to corrupt himself by forcing your friend back.

Assuming it is truly in our best interest, the God of love will do everything that your friend lets God do to help him/her return, but if he/she still refuses to forgive and/or see reason, the One who can do no wrong will not abuse his power. No matter how much truth is in the saying, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” it does not apply to the Perfect Lord. He refuses to abuse his power.

The pain your breakup has caused is the deepest revelation you have so far had of the pain in God’s heart over all those who misunderstand him, turn their back on him and walk off into unspeakable danger. You and God have more in common than ever. Draw near to him, comfort him and let him comfort you.
