Courage is a circle. Christ never stops chasing us where pain is piercing us through —into communion, into joy. Courage is simply the surrender to Love —who finds you in your sin, who seeks you in your pain, who weeps for all the wrong that has smeared mud over your name. Let this Shepherd lead you into courage with every passing day, and freed by Christ’s own scars, may your wounds become the welcome for those who are still chained.
