"As I dragged my feet along the gravel with my head down, I found myself asking, “Why, God?” He told me, “broken world, daughter. Sin is real. Know and repent of your own, and then seek justice and love for my children. Do not lose hope, my child. Be an agent of mercy.” And I slowly breathed in the stench, but allowed hope and God’s promises of mercy and healing to remain. This peace that lies within me is one of eternal pain but suprassing faith in God’s ultimate desire to shower mercy in the heaviest and most broken places."
