The world doesn’t understand.

Even other Christians raise their eyebrows.

“Why keep doing this?”

“Why take on more trauma?”

“Why make your life harder?”

And sometimes… I wonder too.

But then I remember:

This isn’t about ease.

It’s about obedience.

This is Kingdom work.

This is fatherhood with scars.

This is standing in the gap where few will go.

And I say yes — again —

Because someone has to.

Because love is worth the mess.

Because Jesus didn’t run from our brokenness…

He moved toward it.

And so will I.
