Beautifully Broken: A 20 Day Journey of Healing From the UnthinkableSample

We've been through it, haven't we?

The hard-won-know-how we hold. The free will of others has landed hard on us.

The choices and missteps. Our own and those of others. We carry a history of it, don't we? And if you're like me, sometimes it gets heavy.

I'm sorry it's been like this.

And if I could climb above all the noise—above the mental chatter that seeks to hold you back—I'd declare it with the biggest voice I have.

God's opinion! Don't forget—in all the noise—to listen deep to God's opinion.

He says you are set apart. He says you are chosen and highly favoured.

He says you're here on purpose for a purpose.

Made in His image.

Woven together.

Known.

He says—as He bursts wide Heaven's doors and rushes with history-altering force in your direction—that death can't keep Him from you.

And so, while misguided input clangs loud in the background, please keep the ears of your heart locked on the voice of our King.

Booming in your favour.

Arms wide. A smile more radiant than we can imagine.

All for you.

He delights in you. His eyes light up for you. His heart insists on you.

And His plan—His purpose for you—has never (ever) been shifted or changed or thwarted because of chatter. Or labels. Or the history of things.

Hold that truth as you step into your day today.
