Glorious Weakness: Discovering God InAll We Lack
The text reflects on the author's family's experiences following missionary work in Nepal,
highlighting the unseen challenges and daily struggles that often accompany such endeavors. It
contrasts the glorified perception of missionary life with the mundane realities of day-to-day
existence and personal hardships. The narrative delves into the toll taken on the author's family,
especially the mother, who faced a series of crises from illness to financial struggles and trauma.
The text emphasizes the gap between the outwardly celebrated aspects of missionary work and
the hidden struggles faced by individuals behind the scenes. It also explores the lingering impact
of trauma even after the initial crisis has passed, portraying a stark contrast between societal
expectations and the harsh realities of personal suffering. Ultimately, it delves into the sense of
being overlooked or misunderstood, contrasting the idealized notion of being a rescuer like the
Good Samaritan with the harsher reality of being the wounded, passed by, and struggling with
one's own vulnerabilities amidst a world often indifferent to personal suffering.
