Justin Bieber is doing some deep reflecting this Christmas. On Wednesday, the Christmas Love crooner took to his official Instagram to share his musings about the music industry and faith. The singer wrote about how the industry has shaped him into someone he didn't want; however, he shared that he was in the healing process.

“I grew up in a system that rewarded my gift but didn't always protect my soul. There were moments I felt used, rushed, shaped into something I didn't fully choose. That kind of pressure leaves wounds you don't see on stage.”

He continued:

“I've carried anger. I've asked God why. But Jesus keeps meeting me in the middle of the pain, not excusing what hurt me, but teaching me how not to become bitter.”

Adding a scripture from the Bible.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

More details on Justin Bieber’s Christmas reflection

In the series of emotional Instagram posts, Justin Bieber talked more about the pain he experienced in the music industry and how he was trying to come back from it.

“I've been through pain that shaped me before I had the words to name it. I was in a system that took more than it protected. But I'm not speaking as someone still broken, I'm speaking as someone Jesus has already healed.”

He continued, recognizing how his faith has transformed him personally.

“What happened to me was real. But it doesn't get the final word. Jesus didn't just help me cope; He restored my identity. I'm not a product. I'm not what the industry demanded. I'm a son.”
“I don't want to burn the music industry down. I want to see it made new, safer, more honest, more human. Healing doesn't make me silent. It makes me free to tell the truth without hatred. Jesus didn't just heal me for myself. He healed me so I could help change what once hurt me.”

For Justin Bieber, speaking out about his pain doesn't mean he is broken; instead, it makes him someone who has grown and learned from the situation he has gone through.

“I didn't come out of this untouched. I grew up inside a system that took more than it guarded. That pain was real, but it doesn't define me anymore.”

He added:

“I'm not speaking as a victim still bleeding. I'm speaking as someone restored.”
