I choose growth. I choose injustice.
If you heard my story, you might think I’m an idiot. Your strong sense of justice would pull you against the direction I’ve chosen.
I could have righteously destroyed. I could have walked away and sought out something new, leaving this wreckage behind me.
But I saw the wreckage. Though it grieves me, I won’t run from it. I will grow something out of it.
Growing is what I love. I find it much more difficult than destroying.
Difficulty is something I’ve always relished. When I’m running, I run faster uphill. When I’m growing, I grow from the pain of rejection.
I was given the gift of a good start. My roots are strong, and with His Strength and Wisdom, I cannot be uprooted.
Choose to grow. Be gracious and strong in the face of injustice.
Forgiveness is the sunlight that grows life from the wreckage.
Don’t run from it.
