What If…?
What if the blessing you yearn for actually comes in the form of your pain? What if your tears are that which will heal you, your suffering and grief the true mercy in your life? So many of us think that grace and forgiveness will be attained only after the pain has passed, but it is the pain itself that will deliver you from the anguish, just as is it the fire in a forest that strips away the old growth in order to give the new shoots life. Your pain is your healing.
May you take comfort in that.
