Church hurt can leave wounds
that reach far beyond a building.

When people who represent God fail us,
it can become difficult
to separate their actions
from His character.

Yet God is not defined
by the brokenness of people.

He remains faithful,
even when His people are not.

Healing may take time,
and rebuilding trust may be slow.

But our hope can rest in Christ,
whose love never changes
and whose presence never abandons us.
