Grace Upon Grace

But there are others where we traveled the jagged road of reconciliation, mending wounds and untying knots and covering with grace. On the other end of this was an ocean-deep intimacy of perseverance that couldn’t be reached any other way.

We had to wrestle with the ugly parts of our nature. Demons were exposed. Secrets were spilled.

Yet there is a joy in enduring the marathon, in going that painful distance. There’s a crazy sort of laughter with a lifelong friend that is colored by the weight of heels digging into the ground, a love that says, “I’m staying.” We see it in the cross, and we can have it now, even in a world such as this.
