People passed by, offering advice, but none could help. Then someone came along and said, “I've been here before.” He climbed into the hole and showed him the way out. Life has its own holes—failure, loss, disappointment, and mistakes. Sometimes we don't need someone to judge us or give us advice. We need someone willing to walk with us.
