In a world lacking faith and reverence for God, she remains.
In a world where "woman" is constantly misconstrued, she remains.
In a world that disregards the power of God after seeing a picture like this,
she remains.
In a world demanding to know how a loving God could let this destruction happen, she remains.
In a world full of pain, heartache, disaster, and suffering, she remains.
But God never said His way was easy, God never said His way was pain-free, and God never said following Him would exempt you from suffering, yet, she remains.
She's not God, nor does she ever claim to be, yet, she remains.
She's a woman who cared not for what the world would think of her, because she knew the world's allure was nothing compared to His love, and as such, she remains.
She's a mother who wanted her life to point to her Son, she's a wife who allowed her surrender to expose her spouse's faithfulness, she's a daughter who trusted her Heavenly Father's ways over her own, and with such beauty, she remains.
As a perfect example of laying it all down for Him and clinging to God for comfort in suffering,
she remains.
