The beauty of who we are manifests when we understand that we were created uniquely and perfectly [by God]. In Shronda Allen's debut literary work, The Struggle Within... My Sharpest Thorn, she candidly details her journey of self-acceptance and self-love, as she fought to overcome the thorns of rejection, abuse, and self-sabotaging behaviors. Shronda doesn't glorify her struggle. However, she courageously shares how her struggles helped her accept God's strength; while understanding God loves her unconditionally. When we realize that our struggles are a part of God's plans, the thorns in our lives may be sharp, but they are equally purposeful!
