Darkness is never so dark as when a redeemed soul isn’t satisfied with God. The richness of the Scripture has no taste. The preacher’s sermon deflects off fleshly armor. Prayers seem to be stamped, “Return to sender.

Distractions intrude on the best attempts to have quiet moments with God. Your heart sighs. Memories of blazing intimacy with Christ make the soul now shiver. “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it” rings truer than other lyrics. You may even fear that, after all of this times, you aren’t His.

But .....God's love bankrupted heaven for us. Being broken draws us to the things that matter. It refines our hearts and minds.

📌To be Gracefully Broken is to be at a stage in our lives where all our finances, relationships, dreams, plans, school, work, and lives have been placed at the feet of Jesus without a single thing left behind so that with His Grace, He can align it to His will, way, and purpose. A stage where we fully depend on the power and workings of God in our lives.

📌To be Gracefully Broken is to let God strip us of all that we thought we needed and make us realize that all we truly need is Him alone. Yes, to us, it will look like God is hurting us yet we don’t realize that maybe these things or these people that God is removing from our lives are not aligned to the work God has for our lives. We may say that God is harming His children, but He is using His grace to reposition us and realign us to a place where we will fully live out His purpose over our lives as vessels of His Kingdom.

 His removal (in our eyes ) is His realignment.

So when we sing or talk about Gracefully Broken, we don’t talk about harm but talk about realignment and repositioning having surrendered all to Jesus, the King of Kings. A place where we see pain as purpose, brokenness as beauty, and find strength in weakness and freedom in captivity.

You may be seeing havoc in your life but trust me when I say that giving it to God is all you need to do. Surrender to God all that you are and let Him be the one who guides you and leads you.

📌To be Gracefully Broken is to be Realigned, Repositioned, and Redesigned.
