In his darkest hour, Winston’s track record of failed strategies and countless lives lost haunts him, threatening to weaken his resolve. In the strongest, most tender moment of the film, Winston’s wife Clemmie, (Kristin Scott Thomas) takes hold of his hands. They are the same hands he’s been wringing in fear and trembling over making a decision that, no matter the outcome, will inevitably cost everything. She leans in, looks deeply into his eyes, and says,

“You are strong because you are imperfect. You are wise because you have doubts. From this uncertainty, the wisest words will come.”

In that moment, he’s able to see that the mistakes from his past, all his imperfections, and all his doubts have prepared him exactly for this moment. That without the painful journey, he might make the most foolish decision. It’s precisely because of the painful road he’s traveled that he can conjure the wisdom to choose what is best, despite all the other voices clamoring to take the lead.

You have that same wisdom.

In your most difficult moments, when you remember your imperfections, feel completely inadequate, and doubt you have the wisdom to make the best decision, trust that your wisdom will come. You see the path ahead through the eyes that carry the wisdom of the path behind. You’ve journeyed through things no one else may understand.

You are strong, not in spite of your imperfections, but because of them.

Be encouraged today.

You are exactly who you need to be, to do the next right thing.

to more love,

Crystal
