Wisdom comes from making mistakes.
Compassion comes from hurts and heartaches.
Forgiveness comes when we learn to forgive.
And in dying to self, we learn to live.
Healing comes from deep, cutting wounds.
Resurrection comes from cold, dark tombs.
Anticipation comes when all hope is gone.
The darkest night precedes the dawn.
Love comes from those others reject.
Esteem comes from those the world disrespects.
Acceptance from those who just don’t belong.
And silent pain is broken by joyous song.
Clarity comes from being confused.
Restoration comes from those abused.
Patience comes from being overwhelmed.
And suffering moves us into another realm.
Peace comes to those plagued by unrest.
Freedom to those enslaved and oppressed.
Gain comes to those who know how to lose.
The lessons of life come in ways we don’t choose.
