Gather The Fragments

Finding Purpose In What Remains

By Dr. Verlyn Fontaine Waterman | Who Is She! Blog

There is a quiet power in choosing to gather what others have discarded—even when those pieces are your own.

Whether you feel whole or broken, abundant or fragmented, I want you to know this: God sees value in every part of your story. Nothing you’ve endured is wasted. Nothing you’ve survived is irrelevant. Not the heartbreak. Not the detour. Not even the silence.

Jesus said, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing be lost” (John 6:12). That wasn’t just about bread—it was about people, experiences, and identity.

This is your invitation to begin again—not by dismissing your broken pieces, but by honoring them. By recognizing that even the parts of you that feel shattered still carry divine potential.

Let’s start a conversation.

Let’s talk about what it means to pick up what life tried to scatter.

Let’s talk about the sacred work of restoration.

Let’s talk about the beauty of becoming whole again—piece by piece.

Because the God who formed you never forgets what He fashioned.

And He is calling you to gather what remains…

So that nothing be lost.
