"I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel..." -Philippians 1:12
Despite these nights wracked with ghost whispers and hard shadows, reminders of how sometimes it just hurt so much, and the knowing that there are some bridges best left burnt to the ground, by God's GRACE I am able to look up and see Christ. And I offer, without excuse or apology, looking at all the things the Lord has seen me safely through, this comfort; that for those of us who love God and are called according to His purpose, all things work together for our good. Namely, we -daily- being conformed into the likeness of His Son.
This long and broken road, filled scar tissue and bruises, has been an ongoing journey to see that the Gospel is the message of and for every believer. We carry with us "a bloody cross and an empty tomb" story of scandal, reconciliation, and glory. And this road has given opportunity upon opportunity to preach the Gospel.
Praise God.
