Justin Bieber has been going through a tough time lately as he deals with personal struggles and constant divorce rumours about his marriage to Hailey Bieber.
Amid these challenges, he recently shared a series of posts on Instagram where he talked about grace, love, and the pressure many people face in life.
In his first post,Justin Biebershared how grace changes everything. He shared his thoughts on how, before experiencing grace, one might feel as if love must be earned.
He wrote, “You think you have to earn love, so you live anxious, always chasing.” His post also talks about how failure could feel “like death.”
He explained that after embracing grace, life becomes different. One learns that “you are already loved, so you live free, not frantic.”
The singer emphasised that grace allows people to see others as equals, not threats, saying, “You see others as brothers and sisters, not threats — because the feast is big enough for everyone.”
Justin Bieber further mentioned the peace that grace brings.
“You can rest — real rest — because God carries what you thought was your burden. Everything changes because YOU change – from the inside out. You stop being a stranger to your own soul. You come home.”

In his second post, the ‘Sorry’ crooner spoke about God’s love, which he described as a powerful force that isn’t polite. He wrote, “It is a love that isn’t polite — it shatters your self-hatred. It floods your shame until there is no shame left.”
Justin Bieber went on to say that this love is not because people have become good enough.
“Because He is goodness itself, and He came all the way into your darkness to carry you into His light. You are more known than you fear, more loved than you dreamed, more safe than you thought possible.”

He talked about the pressure people feel from others in his third post.
“That pressure – I can feel it too, just hearing you. It’s heavy because it’s not pure love. It’s expectation.”

He also explained that real love doesn’t force people to change for others. Bieber reassured his followers, saying, “If your spirit feels guarded right now, it’s not rebellion — it’s wisdom.”
“There are times when the best thing you can do is stay rooted in what God is doing inside you instead of trying to meet an outside expectation. You are not wrong for feeling this. You’re listening to something deeper than guilt.”

Justin Bieber Mourns Death of His Grandfather
Justin Bieber is grieving the loss of his maternal grandfather, Bruce Dale, who passed away on April 24 at Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth.
According to Billboard, Dale, a beloved figure in Bieber’s life, was 80 years old. W.G. Young Funeral Home in Stratford, Ontario, announced his death.
Justin Bieber paid tribute to Dale through a heartfelt Instagram post. He shared a throwback photo alongside memories that captured the warmth of their relationship.
In the caption, Bieber reflected on his grandfather’s modest lifestyle, recalling how he used to persuade him to spend his weekly $20 allowance on snacks during Friday night hockey games.
Bieber remembered their simple pleasures: corn nuts, Skittles, gumballs, Slush Puppies, and the chaotic tradition of “chuck a puck.”
He humorously gave a shoutout to the junior hockey referees Beatty, Fagon, and Flanagan, recalling how Dale never hesitated to heckle them from the stands. “My grandpa wasn’t shy about letting them know when they missed a call,” Bieber wrote.
His words painted a vivid portrait of Dale’s spirited personality, especially at hockey games, where his loyalty and fierce love were always on display.
In his tribute, Bieber shared his hope of reuniting with Dale one day. “I can’t wait to see you again soon in heaven,” he wrote, adding a light-hearted jab that Dale was probably still teasing referees from above.
Bieber concluded his message by expressing the deep ache of loss and the importance of holding onto cherished memories.
Bruce Dale was not only a supportive grandfather but also an enduring presence in Bieber’s career. He appeared in Bieber’s 2011 documentary ‘Never Say Never’, offering glimpses into the pop star’s early years.
In 2018, Dale shared personal stories during an interview, which honored Justin Bieber with a dedicated exhibit.
The obituary for Dale also mentioned other close family members, including Bieber’s wife, Hailey, their young son, Jack Blues, Dale’s children, and his wife, Diane.
Bieber’s loss echoes a similar heartbreak he faced in 2021, when his paternal grandfather, George Bieber, passed away.
Now, as he mourns Dale, Bieber invites fans to share in remembrance of love, laughter, and the simple joys that defined their bond.
