Broken Before The Fix

There are times when life bends us low, so low it feels like we’ve shattered into a thousand unseen pieces. But brokenness before God is never the end. It is often the doorway to healing. Like the potter with clay, He may press, shape, or even break something to remake it, so that the outcome carries more glory than the former version ever could. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].” (Psalm 147:3, AMP).

It is through our cracked lives that His grace pours deeply. The world says broken is failure. God says broken is fertile ground for transformation. While it might hurt, don’t fear the breaking—it may be the prelude to your breakthrough.

In the moments when all feels lost, remember that you are still held by the One who restores. God is always there for the fix.
