Creatively Unfiltered Grace

To every broken heart and every weary soul: you are worth it.
Even in your brokenness, even in your uncertainties, even in your anxieties—you are worth it.

Your struggles do not define you. They are not the measure of your value. They are simply part of your journey.

Your worth is not reflected in someone else’s happiness. You are not responsible for carrying the weight of another person’s joy. Some people are selfish, some are careless, some simply don’t know how to love well. And that is not your burden to carry. Their inability to love you does not make you unlovable.

If someone cannot make space for you, it is not because you are not worth the space. It is a reflection of their character, not your worth.

So what do you do? You anchor yourself in the Lord. He is the one who makes you whole. He is the one who comforts your soul when heartbreak feels unbearable. The heart longs for love, and sometimes people will mishandle that longing—but only Jesus gives the love that never fails.

God’s love is pure. His love reaches the deepest parts of your sorrow, your heartbreak, your anxieties—even when you’re in the middle of a spiral.

If you reach out, He meets you there. And even if you don’t, He is still near. That still, quiet whisper in your heart says: Just breathe. Just breathe. You are safe. You are mine.

You may feel emotionally broken, but God is not broken. God is God. Stable. Constant. Unshaken.

I’ve heard it said: “Reach out to the Lord like your life depends on it—because it does.” Only He can unblock the heaviness in your soul and restore your joy.

The truth is, people will fail you. People are like grass—flattened by the storm, bent by a rogue gust of wind, weighed down by the rain. They cannot be your everything. But God can.

And when you finally realize that God is everything, something changes. People may lie. They may fail. They may do the opposite of what they promise. But none of it matters as much as this: God is with you. He protects, He guides, He guards, He loves.

Even in sorrow. Even in loneliness. He is there.

And when you don’t even know what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for you. Sometimes all it takes is a gospel song, a single moment of surrender, to steady your spirit again.

I won’t pretend it’s easy. Some days feel like blue Mondays. The heaviness of work, the projections of people’s stress, the sharp sting of opinions—it all presses in. But I’ve learned this: when I align with the Lord, something shifts. My spirit steadies. My heart breathes again. I find peace. I find focus. I find joy.

Because people are unstable. People are messy. People are fragile.
But God? God is amazing. God is stable. God is constant. God is God.

People will never truly be responsible for making you happy. Think about it. The love, the care, the space that someone gives to you—it’s only God channelling through them. God shining through their heart.

But sometimes, people are broken. Sometimes, the image of God in them is fractured. Even if their words or intentions mean well, that doesn’t give them permission to walk over you, to tear you down, or to offer you scraps while they hold the fullness back.

If someone is going to break you down, if they cannot meet you with honesty, care, or stability, it’s better to step away. Don’t accept leftovers when you are offering your whole heart. Recognize the reality: they might be trying, in their own limited way, but their capacity is too small right now to meet you fully. And that’s on them, not you.

So let me remind you again: you are worth it. Not because of what people say. Not because of what they do. Not because of what they fail to give. You are worth it because God made you, God loves you, and God holds you.

And nothing—nothing—can take that away.
