Yes, I know that too well! I married into a mess, coming from a protected environment, I had to go for years of being told how useless I was and eventually, I believed that, It grew on me and I began to live in the shadow of being useless! I was always comparing myself to others, I could not get out of the dark shadow of my uselessness to the world and those around me! This nearly destroyed me but, thank God for lifting me up and drawing near to me! Once I began to see the love of God around me, and for accepting me for who I am, I began to heal! I healed in such a way that I can lift others up today, showing them my scars and letting them see the reality of God's healing. Thank you for sharing, brought back many memories !!

Thank you Nita, you put everything that's happened in my life too. I spent years being told I wasn't good enough, or being undermined in every way, but God knew and He gave me the strength to be as I am today. I am healed and enough in God's eyes. Thank you for sharing.

Your writing is always blessing to me, Sarah. Yes to the not healing cleanly. God keeps tearing away those bandages and exposing the layers. It's painful but necessary. And you're right...God doesn't waste pain. ❤️

A Blessing for the One Who Feels Too Broken to Be Whole

May you know

that the cracks in your soul

are not signs of failure

but entry points for grace.

May the light reach through them

like morning through a weathered window—

not erasing the damage,

but naming it holy.

May you remember

that God does not discard

what is torn, bruised, or bent.

God gathers.

God mends.

God sings over what the world calls ruined

until it rises again in rhythm with love.

So when you cannot believe in your worth,

may you rest in the One

who never stopped seeing it.

And when you’re ready,

may you rise—

not unbroken,

but whole.

He has sheltered me during the chaos and leaves me feeling more joyful than I could have ever hoped to feel... In all His great glory, He silenced my fears and chased away my tears, inspired me to bring praises through my pen and prayers who would welcome Him into my heart. God bless you!!

Shalom! Awesome post!!! Sooo TRUE!

Thank you for always writing “outside of the box “. Many times YOU are the only writer whose voice I want to hear. Yahusha greatly uses you. Thank you for being so faithful to Him. Your love for Him is obvious and His Ahavah (Love) for you is too. Yahusha is using you to show many others that He is real and is calling out to them to come closer…closer….to choose Him to be their Saviour and Redeemer like you have done. He will not reject anyone who comes to Him. It doesn’t matter if their life is on the rocks or has even gone over the cliffs and there is no way to fix it. He especially wants the hopeless, the fearful, the tormented, the ones who have lost so much and hurt so much, the ones who see no reason to wake up in the morning anymore and are thinking of ending their life. I say to them to give Yahusha a chance. Turn to Him even now, for He will not disappoint.
