When God Meets You in the Brokenness 💔

Hello friend,

For years, I sat in church feeling like an outsider. I believed in God—I always had—but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t someone He wanted a relationship with. I didn’t feel good enough, holy enough, or worthy enough. I wasn’t proud of the choices I’d made or the places my life had taken me, and I was sure that God didn’t want me as I was.

So I kept my distance. I prayed sometimes, but even then, I felt like my words weren’t reaching Him. In my heart, I believed that God loved people… but I didn’t believe He loved me.

Then came the day when my world fell apart. I’ll never forget laying on my bathroom floor, tears streaming down my face, feeling so broken and completely alone. It felt like I had reached the end of myself, with no way out. But in that dark moment, something incredible happened. God showed up.

It wasn’t in a loud or dramatic way, but in the quiet of my shattered heart, I felt His presence. It was as though He was whispering, You’re not alone. I’m here, and I love you. And for the first time, I understood that His love wasn’t about what I deserved or what I could offer. His love was simply because of who He is—faithful, forgiving, and full of grace.

Lamentations 3:22-23 says, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” That verse became my lifeline. Every day, no matter how unworthy I felt, I could trust that His mercies were new. He didn’t need me to clean up my mess before coming to Him—He met me in it.

Friend, if you’ve ever felt like I did—like God couldn’t possibly want you just as you are—I want you to know that’s a lie. God doesn’t need you to be perfect, and He doesn’t ask you to have it all together. He meets you in your brokenness, in your fear, in your doubt, and He wraps you in His love.

Jesus didn’t come for the perfect. He came for the weary, the burdened, the hurting. He came for you. And His love is constant, even on the days when you feel like you don’t deserve it.

If you’re carrying the weight of unworthiness, I encourage you to lay it down at His feet. Let Him show you just how deeply loved you are. You don’t have to strive to be enough because, through Him, you already are.

With love and a heart resting in His grace,
Kimberly
