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

If you’ve been on your face in sorrow, you know.

If you’ve held your breath in the chaos or stood, blown open in the wreckage. You know.

If the covenant is broken. If the lies have been spewed. If the story spun against you has taken on a life of its own.

If you’ve begged for answers that would never come. Or help. Or relief.

You definitely know.

And I am so sorry that you know of such things. It was never supposed to be this way.

I know, too—you and I have a shared knowing. And maybe you’ve already found it, as I have…

No matter what. He is still God.

Even when everything else isn’t what you thought it was.

Even when the lies are loud, and the chaos seems unending.

He is still God, and He is still in control. He is still fighting battles behind the scenes, defending you in realms we only read about.

And—this is important—He has stepped in even closer.

When others walk away—God runs to us.

When the narrative spun against us is too much to hold—He carries truth.

When it all comes undone—He is right there holding what matters.

First, He is with us.

And then, He saves.

First, He comes close, and then He saves. He will work this out.

He is close to the brokenhearted. And He saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Don’t forget Who He is today. You’re in very good hands.
