Peace and beauty are possible—even when broken.

🕊️ TRUTHPULSE: JUNE 23

📜 OUR MISSION

To be an instrument of peace, you must be willing to feel.

Not just comfort. Not just stillness.

But fire. Ache. Holy conviction. And, not just the holy things…all the feels, inadequacies, dissonance, dissatisfaction…

God is not calling you to a quiet life. He’s calling you to a consecrated one.

Peace isn’t passive. It is forged. And we cannot find that kind of peace in denial. Today, we wear this kind of peace not as sentiment—but as armor.

🔥BUT TO GET THERE…

We cannot bring light to a world we refuse to feel.

Numbness is not safety—it is delay. Comfort, unchecked, becomes a cage. Anger and resentment avoided just get buried.

And yet—feeling deeply isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of obedience.

You were not made to bypass the ache. You were made to become the altar it burns upon.

Peace is not the absence of fire— It is what remains after the fire has refined.

This is the part I’m really wrestling with today:

What if the thing that makes you feel disqualified

is actually what God is waiting to anoint?

What if peace doesn’t come after you’ve been put back together—

but while you are still cracked and tender and offering Him the pieces?

Your brokenness doesn’t disqualify your sound.

It deepens it.

It is your brokenness that finally God can use.

You are a masterpiece, and God already knew the places where you feel (and maybe even are!) inadequate. He already factored it in!! 😅

Take me—take my violin—even now, even while broken. Let it be used.

Let me—all of me—be used for Your glory, even the hurting places.

I can be at peace. I can still play from my soul… even in the midst of brokenness.

There is so much noise right now. But noise cannot command an atmosphere. That’s why this is so important! The world needs peace warriors! Only obedience can conquer this. (The word obedience can feel triggering, right!? But I encourage you to sit with it a moment.)

God is not asking for your opinion. He is asking for your surrender. For your response. For your yes. You do have a role to play, a mantle to play in the peace that is possible here, now. Stop looking somewhere else for the solution.

💔 BROKENNESS + PEACE SCRIPTURES

Psalm 147:3

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Isaiah 57:15

“I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit…”

Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.”

My favorite❤️: 2 Corinthians 12:9

“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’”

— My cracked violin, my broken offering—it’s where His power rests.

I almost didn’t share this, because it is broken. Even the words feel a little jumbled.

I thought, I can just wait until I get the violin back after it’s fixed. Until after I make this post all work, just right…

But after praying and listening and reading, I’m sharing it—because it is broken.

I am trusting God to do His thing however He pleases…

Even through me. Even through imperfection. Even through brokenness.

✨ WALK IT OUT

Feel it.

Stop numbing.

Let your heart ache if it must. See your struggle, your inadequacies. Feel what is really there.

Say this:

“Lord, refine me. Don’t just comfort me—commission me.”

Take one bold action that confronts injustice, deceit, uplifts peace, or breaks personal silence.

Fast from one comfort you run to when trying not to feel.

Release a sound of peace—music, a prayer, a gesture.

Let it come through you.

🪷 Kintsugi: Beauty in the Breaking

In Japan, when pottery breaks, they don’t discard it.

They honor its story.

They gather the pieces and mend them with gold—not to hide the cracks, but to illuminate them.

This practice is called kintsugi, and the vessel becomes more valuable because it was broken.

It becomes one-of-a-kind not in spite of the shattering, but because of it.

Isn’t that what God does with us?

He doesn’t discard what’s fractured.

He fills the cracks with grace.

And somehow, we shine brighter—glowing gold with the glory of what we’ve walked through and surrendered.

So if you’re carrying a violin with a seam undone,

if you’re walking with a heart that’s been cracked open,

know this:

God sees it all.

And He calls it beautiful.

Let your brokenness be part of the brilliance.

Let Him make you more radiant because of it.

💬 AFFIRMATION

I do not fear the fire.

I am not here to be numb.

I am refined. I am willing.

I am an instrument of peace—tuned by obedience.
