Pain Well Spent

When we look back at time, we can see all the ways it’s been both kind and cruel to us. We can see time that has helped and time that has hurt. Time that heals and time that feels like an end. Often it seems like we are at the mercy of time, but only because we look at time as something to be defeated. / Yet Jesus did not defeat time—he defeated death. He is the One that winds the hypothetical clocks of our lives and holds our time in his hands. Even when we are slow to hope and quick to wish for suffering to end, he does not waste our time. / In the expanse between life and death, Jesus takes us through death to life. By his great mercy can we live through the pain to look back and call it well spent.
