You can’t know glory unless you’ve been inglorious. You can’t know light without knowing darkness. You can’t know blindness without knowing sight. I have been blind, now I can see. But the damage will never leave me. I have been shameful. Now I can be glorious. Thank You for telling me. Kristen Barney
