Broken but Blessed

Tracy Graves Stevens

When I hear this phrase it gives me a wonderful sense of peace – not just because it reiterates the promises of God on how He loves us through our hurts but also what that little word in the middle represents to all of us who go through life’s challenges. That little word ‘but’.  That little, three letter word represents so much because it negates whatever was said right before it.

The words after ‘but’ have the power.  So – we may be feel broken BUT the power is in the blessings on my life.  We may feel unloved BUT God rejoices in our existence. We may feel alone BUT God said He would never leave or forsake us. Believe in the ‘But’ power of God to turn your brokenness into blessings!

Give God Your Pain

Tracy Graves Stevens

From my book, “What Just Happened? Living the Redeemed Life (When All Hell Breaks Loose)” – Give your pain, worry, hurt and hope to the Lord.  God is your safe place – always.  We spend too much time ‘out in the wilderness’ trying to figure out what to do with our pain and hurt.  He is our safe place.  To hold us, to love us and to guide us.  You can trust God with your uncertainty and disappointment.  He loves you.

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) says “ Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 

What a wonderful promise!

You are Rejoiced!

Tracy Graves Stevens

Yes, it is true…You are Rejoiced.  You are loved by God in a way that there are no words to describe.  God knows you from the inside out.  He doesn’t judge or mislead – He just loves.  That is the foundation of this site – to remind you that you are not alone in this world.  God knew you before you were born and your identity is fully integrated with how He sees you and His purpose for your life.  You are Redeemed!

Our Theme – Live Fearlessly

Tracy Graves Stevens

Live Fearlessly!  That is both my challenge and my mission.

Every day God gives me a new canvas to express His Spirit in me.  Some days it is vibrant with lively hues where I don’t mind the hot pinks and bright chartreuse colors intermingling and some days only black and white will do.  I strive daily to let God know one key thing – that whatever is in the crayon box He sets before me, I am a willing participant.  I protest some days when the coloring is outside the lines…and we negotiate way more than we should, but God reminds me every day that He is the Master designer of my life and can use me – even if some of the crayons are broken.

As a leader, professional and now a new author trying to take this message to the streets, there are days where I’m both willing and resistant.  That is when God’s most important reminder shines brightly in my life – He is The Redeemer and I am the Redeemed.  He meets me where I am no matter where I am on life’s spectrum.  That is what Living the Redeemed Life is all about. It is realizing, I am not alone.  Neither are you!  #LivingTheRedeemedLife.
