The Suffering Script

Paul writes from a prison cell: "Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you." That's either the bravest sentence in the New Testament, or a script we've been handing hurting people for centuries. This week we sit with that tension. What does it actually cost to say those words honestly, and what happens when we borrow them too soon, handing them to someone who's still in the middle of their own pain? Along the way: a personal story about sitting with grief instead of trying to fix it, a short look at what it means for grace to actually be met, and one simple thing to try this week if you're not currently the one suffering.
