I did not understand that God’s most precious gifts come in boxes that make your hands bleed when you open them. Inside is what you have been looking for all of your life. Only God can do that. Only His love is as fierce and relentless as our deepest pain and unspoken fears… . I longed for rescue; He gave me relationship. I wanted deliverance; He gave me companionship in the ruins.
