Beauty in the Broken Places

10/1/2024

Transformation is messy. It often feels like everything is falling apart before it comes together. Yet, in those broken places, God’s love shines the brightest. The discomfort we feel in times of change is not a sign of God’s absence but a powerful reminder of His transformative work in our lives.

In Genesis, God speaks into the chaos of a formless world, bringing order and beauty from what seems like nothing (Genesis 1:1-3). Similarly, when we experience the chaos of life changes, God is there, speaking order and beauty into our confusion. The “ugliness” we encounter during transformation is part of the journey toward something greater. As Leonard Cohen so beautifully said, “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

When we feel broken, when life doesn’t go as planned, we can trust that God is working in those very cracks. Transformation often means discomfort, but it’s in these moments that God molds us into vessels of His grace. Like the Israelites wandering in the wilderness, yearning for God’s presence, we too find God walking with us through the mess, preparing us for something more.

So, if you’re in the middle of life’s chaos, know that God’s light is breaking through. He is with you, and He is making all things new—even when it feels like nothing is going right. Trust the process. God’s beauty is woven into every moment, and His presence never leaves you.
