5 Essential Quotes From Saint Mother Teresa To Keep Close To Your Heart If You’re Divorced

Need a little help staying hopeful and positive after divorce? These 5 poignant quotes from our new saint, Saint Mother Teresa, are perfect for anyone struggling with the after affects effects of divorce.

1.    When you feel lonely, when you feel unwanted, when you feel sick and forgotten, remember you are precious to Him. He loves you.

Going through a divorce is about the worst experience anyone can have, in my opinion. The fights, the rejection, the insults — being told you are not loved — all of this is extremely painful and damaging. This pain can be so intense that it distorts your perspective of who you really are and all that you have to offer to others. The truth is that God made you, he loves you, and to him you are a priceless treasure.

Your divorce places such heavy burdens on you that in your time of difficulty you may be tempted to give up hope and become discouraged. But keep in mind that the word “divorce” does not define who you are, it’s something that happened to you. You are precious to God and he loves you, he loves everything about you because he created you.

And because he knows you intimately and the secrets of your heart, you are especially dear to him in this time of loneliness and struggle. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and when you wander away because of self-doubt, he comes after you and calls you to him. He waits for you to give him the chance to show you how much you are worth to him.
