You’ve come through storms that were sent to break you apart, to cause wind-sheer while you battled in the dark. All of that pain and suffering was not in vain, they established your foundation and caused you to remain. There is a reward straight ahead, waiting for you because you didn’t allow your pain to become your bed. I saw you rejoice when hope was nowhere to be found, when it looked like you were going down even about to drown.
