Broken but Not Destroyed

Isaiah 64:8 NKJV But now, O Lord, You are our Father. We are the clay, and You our potter. And all we are the work of Your hand.

Life has moments that leave us feeling cracked, weakened, or worn down. There are experiences that shake our confidence and seasons that press us beyond what we believed we could handle. But one truth remains. You are in the hands of the Potter. The brokenness you feel is not the end of your story. God does not discard clay that becomes marred. He reshapes it. He restores it. He rebuilds it. What life tried to crush, God is able to redeem. Isaiah reminds us that we belong to the One who forms, shapes, and guides us with perfect wisdom. He sees every fracture. He knows every wound. And He works patiently and intentionally to make us whole. The Potter does not panic when we break. He simply begins to mold again with purpose and love. No matter what this year has looked like or how you feel walking into the end of it, remember this. You are still in His hands. Broken is not destroyed. Cracked is not cancelled. Worn is not worthless. God restores every place His hands touch. He is shaping you into something stronger, wiser, and more faithful than before.
