Justin Bieber shared a reflective note about ‘resentment’ and ‘healing’ ahead of the festive celebration.
The Baby The singer took to his Instagram account on Wednesday, December 24, and reflected on his journey in the music industry in an emotional post.
“Christmas time is the time to think and ask yourself what you really want. What is truly satisfying?” Justin wrote in the first post.
Justin said Christmas is “a reminder of Jesus and the free gift of forgiveness that only He can provide.”
The 31-year-old singer then shared a hard pill to swallow, writing, “Letting go [of] grudges are hard.”
“I hope that wherever you are, you can lean on this love that meets us right where we are, no matter what,” she said. Love song singer noted.
In addition to the emotional message, Justin also shared a photo of a note page titled “A Message.”
“I grew up in a system that rewarded my gift, but did not always protect my soul,” the note read. “There were moments when I felt used, rushed, shaped into something I didn’t quite choose. This kind of pressure leaves wounds that you don’t see on stage.”
Writing about his deeply held faith, he continued, “I have borne anger. I asked God why. But Jesus continues to meet me in the midst of the pain—not excusing what hurt me, but teaching me how not to become bitter.”
“I’ve experienced pain that shaped me before I had the words to name it. I was in a system that took more than it protected,” Justin wrote before adding that he is now “healed” and in the process of letting go.
“I don’t want to burn the music industry down,” he added. “I want it to be made new – safer, fairer, more humane.”
Clarifying his statement, he noted: “I don’t speak as a victim who is still bleeding – I speak as one who has recovered.”
This post was followed by another post in which Justin posted his two selfies with a smiling face.
