Broken, but restored
As I write these final lines, a wave of emotion washes over me. Though this story is rooted in rejection and slander, it is above all a tribute to resilience and to the acceptance of suffering that every disciple of the Lord Jesus must face on their journey toward the crown.
Despite the trials, every disciple eventually develops within themselves a kind of death to self, which brings a strength from above. And it is through this strength that we remain standing. The beginning of healing is the willingness to walk the path of forgiveness.
