I want to thank you.
It hurts to say those words out loud, because what I feel is not gratitude, not in the least bit. I feel pain. I feel the wound. I feel confused.
I am hurt. You lied.
But I am still here. I am still breathing.
Breathing.
So what am I thanking you for?
I am thanking you for opening up wounds I never knew were there.
I want to heal entirely, and now I can.
I am becoming whole. I am becoming one.
But most importantly, I am becoming whole and one through and in Jesus Christ.
