But what if I told you that rock bottom isn\u2019t the end &#8212; it\u2019s the beginning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a recent Women&#8217;s Spring event at my church, I heard the speaker share her story &#8212; father walked out, heart broken and many other issues to deal with. Her life was a tangle of disappointments and detours. But what she said next gave me holy goosebumps: \u201cWhen you hit rock bottom, it\u2019s good news &#8212; that\u2019s where you find the solid Rock of Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whew! Isn\u2019t that the truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us have fallen so hard we\u2019ve bounced. We\u2019ve crawled through heartache, betrayal, financial messes, family conflict, and the kind of pain nobody posts about. But if we land on Jesus, we haven\u2019t fallen &#8212; we\u2019ve found our footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is the firm foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11). The Rock that won\u2019t move, even when life shakes and breaks. And while others may walk away, Jesus walks in, scooping us up with nail-scarred hands and saying, \u201cLet\u2019s rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it takes time. And no, it\u2019s not always pretty. But God\u2019s specialty is construction &#8212; especially from the rubble. He\u2019s the Master at turning messes into messages, and disasters into testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s the kicker: rock bottom comes with benefits. We get a fresh start. We lose the things that don\u2019t matter. And we gain what does &#8212; a Savior who holds steady when everything else collapses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re there &#8212; face pressed against the dirt, breath knocked out of you &#8212; don\u2019t panic. Look around. Listen for His whisper. That hardness beneath you? That\u2019s not just rock that is THE ROCK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that, my friends, is where rebuilding begins! Standing in agreement for you to find your footing in Jesus our Rock and our Foundation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say when you hit rock bottom, there&#8217;s nowhere to go but up.
