"Links of Suffering “. A jagged link with sharp edges cuts into you, symbolizing the sharp pain of continuously suffering. Each edge is a reminder of past mistakes and missed opportunities. The remorse and self-blame that accompany regret are like constant, painful reminders.
The stinging of suffering is felt in quiet moments, in sleepless nights, and in times of reflection when the mind wanders back to those pivotal instances. The weight of suffering can be overwhelming, leading to a sense of where the fear of making new mistakes prevents taking any action at all.
The journey to overcome the suffering involves setting boundaries for self-reflection. The person that limits the time spent dwelling on past mistakes and focuses on actionable steps. They surround themselves with supportive and understanding individuals who help them see their worth beyond their suffering. By creating new, positive experiences and making mindful decisions, they replace the weight of suffering with the lightness of hope and possibility.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” - Romans 8:1
