It is both humbling and painful once God reveals to us our shadows and weaknesses, thing we’d rather ignore and forget altogether. But there is a need for all of such things to be brought out into the light so we may find healing, so we can be whole. It is in God’s mercy that He usually doesn’t reveal all of our shadows at once, for then we might succumb to despair. But He reveals them to us one by one, at their proper time, after we have gained the grace and strength to face and overcome them.
