"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." —Romans 8:28
Warrior, let me ask you this: How many times have you looked at the broken pieces of your life and wondered if they could ever amount to anything? The cracks, the scars, the moments you'd rather forget—are they just reminders of failure, or could they be something more? What if those very fragments, those jagged edges, were the canvas for God’s greatest masterpiece in your life?
Let me tell you something about God: He doesn’t waste anything. The shattered dreams, the regrets, the pain you thought would define you—He takes it all, just like a skilled craftsman, and weaves it into something that brings Him glory and gives you purpose. Romans 8:28 reminds us that in God’s hands, all things—not just the good but the messy, the ugly, and the broken—work together for good.
But here’s the catch: You’ve got to hand it over to Him. Redemption begins when you stop trying to sweep the mess under the rug and instead say, “Lord, here it is. All of it. Do with it what only You can.” Owning your story doesn’t mean you glorify the pain; it means you glorify the One who turns ashes into beauty, mourning into joy, and despair into hope.
Warrior, take that step today. Write down the moments you think God could never use. Pray over them. And then watch what He does when you give Him access to the parts of your heart you thought were beyond redemption.
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for being a God who redeems even the darkest chapters of our lives. Teach us to own our stories, not in shame but in hope, knowing You are writing something beautiful. Give us the courage to surrender and the faith to trust Your craftsmanship. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
