The acceptance letter

Dear friend,

You didn’t get the college acceptances you were hoping for. It’s more than a disappointment; it feels like a black cloud over your entire future. You’re not even sure there’s a way forward.

Friend, I’ve been praying for comforting ideas that can help you and others in your situation, because everything within me rebels at the suggestion that an unjust decision or unfair circumstances can prevent you from giving the gifts that are yours to give.
