You are not broken or damaged. You are a strong, beautiful reed, bending in the wind, beautiful and resilient. You are learning how to bend and let go, so that life will not break you. You have a depth and a wisdom far beyond your years.

“A bruised reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, til he has brought justice through to victory” Matthew 12:20 NIV

The Lord wants you to know that He has not forgotten you. He wants to go deep and restore a sense of belonging and acceptance that you were robbed of. He wants you to know the truth that you were never abandoned because He has had His hand on you since the moment you were conceived. He is revealing some things in you so that He can heal you. You are stronger than you know. Do not despise this season as difficult as it is, because you are being healed and transformed from the inside out. Lean into the Lord and allow Him to work in you. He will never give up on you. Trust Him.
