"I bring you my pain, I give you my sorrow. I offer my shame, the threat of tomorrow."
What are you bringing with you as you journey through the season of Lent?
//
If we don’t learn how to weep over the broken parts of our lives and the brokenness of the world, we will further break our lives and the world.
But another way is possible. Healing is possible. Wholeness is possible. Our wounds don’t disappear, but they can truly become a channel for the river of new life to flow. This holy river usually begins with tears.
