Don’t Stop at the Breaking Point...

Don’t Stop at the Breaking Point...

Most people never experience their breakthrough because they stop at their breaking point.

That hit me hard because it’s true.

Breaking points are real. They are the moments when you feel stretched beyond what you think you can handle. The moments where you’re tired, emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel. The moments where quitting feels easier than pressing forward.

I’ve had those moments.

There were seasons in my life where the weight felt heavy—walking through grief after losing loved ones, navigating difficult and unhealthy relationships, homeschooling for years while carrying the responsibility of shaping my son’s future, helping do my part in building our family business, and trying to keep everything together at home.

There were times I felt like I was at my limit.

Times I questioned if I could keep going.
Times I wondered if the sacrifices were worth it.
Times I felt like I was breaking under the pressure.

But I’ve learned something: God often does His deepest work in us at the breaking point.

It’s where pride gets stripped away.
It’s where dependence on Him becomes real.
It’s where faith gets tested and strengthened.

Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

That means your breaking point is not the end—it may be the very place where God is preparing your breakthrough.

I’ve seen this in my own life. The hard decisions to walk away from unhealthy relationships felt like breaking. The long days and sacrifices of homeschooling felt like breaking. The pain of loss felt like breaking. Even the uncertainty and stress of building a future worth having from the ground up felt like breaking.

But every one of those moments produced something.

Strength.
Wisdom.
Discernment.
Perseverance.
Trust.

And looking back now, I can see that if I had quit in those hard seasons, I would have missed what God was doing on the other side.

Sometimes breakthrough doesn’t look like instant change. Sometimes it looks like becoming stronger. Wiser. More grounded. More surrendered.

Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

That’s the key: Don’t Give Up!!!

Your breaking point may feel like the end, but with God it can be the beginning of your breakthrough.

Hold on.
Pray harder.
Trust deeper.
Stay faithful.

Because what feels like breaking may actually be God building something in you that you’ll need for where He’s taking you next.
