Loss

There are moments in life when it feels like everything is crumbling. Plans that seemed solid unravel, relationships fade, and dreams fall apart. It’s hard to make sense of the brokenness, and we often wonder, “Why, God?” But even in these moments, God’s Word reminds us that He is in control, working all things for good. In John 13:7, Jesus says, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” Sometimes, good things fall apart to make room for better things. Other times, God restores and redeems what was broken in ways we couldn’t imagine. Whether He rebuilds what was lost or creates something entirely new, His plans are always for our good (Jeremiah 29:11). When life feels like a mess, trust that God is still writing your story. The pieces that seem shattered in your hands are being shaped into something beautiful in His. It’s okay to grieve the loss of what was, but don’t lose hope—God specializes in redemption and new beginnings. Even when it doesn’t make sense, choose to trust Him. Whether He restores what was broken or brings something new, He is faithful to bring beauty from ashes and to use every broken piece for His glory and your good.
