You used to think testimony had to be tidy.
That you had to choose between honesty and faith.
That acknowledging pain meant denying God's goodness.
But you're learning something more mature.
You can say "God has been good"
without pretending the pain wasn't real.
You can hold both.
The grief and the gratitude.
The struggle and the provision.
The wound and the healing.
Mature faith doesn't explain pain away.
It holds it in the same hand as hope.
This week, write a sentence that includes both grief and gratitude.
Not to resolve the tension.
To honour the truth of both.
God has been good.
And it has been hard.
Both are true.
And both are part of your story.
