Broken and Blessed: An Expert in God’s Redemption

Lesallan Bostron | June 24th, 2026

Being broken does not mean God is finished with me. My scars remind me that He is still restoring, lifting, and redeeming what I thought was lost. I may be broken, but I am also blessed — held together by the hands of a faithful God. #BrokenAndBlessed #GodsRedemption #FaithJourney #HopeInChrist #GodsFaithfulness

There is something painfully sacred about the phrase broken and blessed. Those words do not seem like they should belong together, yet they tell the truth about so many seasons of my life. I have not always discovered God’s blessings on the mountaintop. Sometimes I found them through tears, in quiet valleys, when all I could do was hold on to grace. The places where I felt most shattered became the places where God gently revealed His glory.

I am broken — not because I have given up, but because I am finally honest about what I have carried. I am blessed — not because life has been easy, but because God has met me in the places where I thought I could not keep going. Somewhere between the pain and the promise, I began to understand what redemption really means.

I know what it feels like to lose pieces of yourself and wonder if you will ever feel whole again. I know what it means to be carried by mercy you did not earn, to be covered by grace when you had nothing left to give, and to rise again — not because you were strong enough, but because God would not let your story end in the valley.

Brokenness taught me humility through tears I never wanted to cry. Blessing taught me gratitude in moments I did not expect to survive. Together, they taught me who I am in God — not abandoned, not forgotten, but held.

“If you see me standing today, understand this: I am not standing because I never fell. I am standing because God lifted me.”

This is what makes us “experts” — not because we have mastered life, but because we have met God in the middle of our mess. Every scar can become a testimony, every tear can water new faith, and every valley can become a holy classroom where God teaches us that He never wastes our pain.

So, if you feel broken today, please do not hide your wounds from God. Bring Him the pieces, even the ones you are ashamed to show. He does some of His deepest healing in the places we are most tempted to cover. And when He blesses you — and He will — you will look back and see that even in your brokenness, you were never beyond His reach. You were being held together by the hands of a faithful God.
