When I look at this piece, I think of someone who has spent a lifetime quietly holding on. People may assume their faith is effortless, but they don’t see the unseen choices, sacrifices, and prayers that have shaped their journey. They have felt temptation, made mistakes, and watched others walk away, yet they have continued returning to their roots. While God rejoices over every soul that comes home, I believe He also has a deep love and appreciation for those who have faithfully stayed.
