Thank you, Pain.

Thank you, Pain.

Thank you, Pain. Thank you, heartbreak. Thank you, trauma. Thank you, rejection.

You broke me. You beat me. You left me bloodied and bruised.

And I kept getting up. I stayed down longer at times.

But I couldn’t stop myself. From getting back up.

And loving. And giving. And trusting.

And having that love used. Exposed. Abandoned. Thrown Away.

And yet, I find it all to be well worth it.

I have loved unconditionally.

I have been hurt unexpectedly and repeatedly.

Yet, I was still there. And I will never leave.

I have been “there”, and I have never left.

And I never will.

Knowing the pain. Feeling the pain. Processing the pain. Has blessed me.

Blessed me with the ability to never be the cause of the pain.

To live knowing that my love has never been wasted.

It has been used to further His vision. His dream. My hope.

All for His glory. And honor. Now, and forever.

Thank you, pain. You are welcome here.

I wouldn’t be the man I choose to be today without you. And that would be a tragedy.
