Amen somebody!
This is one of the most challenging, yet ultimately liberating, perspectives on life’s hardships: Your breakthrough is often disguised as a breakdown. Keep trusting God.
The human experience conditions us to equate progress with upward momentum, smooth efficiency, and predictable stability. Therefore, when a system collapses—when a relationship ends abruptly, a career path dissolves, a health crisis erupts, or our emotional fortitude snaps—we automatically label it a failure, a catastrophe, or a definitive "breakdown." This moment feels like the end of the road.
However, the divine economy often operates through paradox. What looks like collapse is frequently the Creator's radical intervention to clear the ground. A breakthrough, by definition, requires breaking through something—and that "something" is often the faulty structure we ourselves built.
The Emotional Breakdown is the dismantling of old, unsustainable coping mechanisms, forcing reliance on a genuine source of strength.
The Relational Breakdown is the removal of a misaligned connection that was blocking the path to true purpose.
The System Breakdown is the necessary clearing away of the old foundation so a stronger, more resilient structure can be built upon rock.
This requires immense faith, because in the midst of the chaos, you cannot see the finished architecture. You must keep trusting God not in spite of the breakdown, but because of it. The chaos is temporary; it is the refining process proving that the old way was too fragile, and that the new way—God’s way—is being established. Trust that the dismantling is precisely the precursor to the greater, more solid victory.
