Have you ever seen something redeemed? Watched a struggle unfold into victory?
A dear friend and her husband are bringing their children home soon. The pain inside them is incredible as they wait, but from the outside, I know it will be soon. And it will be amazing to see the victory of them welcoming their children home.
Two other friends are beginning the very hard work of starting to share their stories - stories buried deep in the past, but needing to come out for healing to occur. It makes me ache to hear their stories. I want the pain to stop. But through their stories, that I didn't know even years after knowing them, those friends are even more beautiful to me than they were before.
I feel like I'm getting to stand on the sidelines and cheer right now. I get to cheer for their redemption. Because as orphans come home and people heal, redemption occurs. What Satan meant for harm, God meant for good and I have the privelege of getting to see the GOOD. His GOOD purpose is so beautifully exciting to watch.
Thank you for the honor of walking alongside these people, Father. I am so grateful.
