Gladly Woundable
Have you ever been injured? Emotionally or physically? I have. And let me tell you. Being gladly woundable is a phrase that used to NOT sit well with me. The idea of being gladly woundable comes from the idea that we as Christians can be thankful for the trials that we go through. So often…
