DAY 8 OF 21

Have you ever had a tiny crack in your phone screen that slowly spread until it messed up the whole display? Holding on to someone’s mistakes can be a lot like that. What starts as something small can grow so big that it damages the whole relationship. Choosing to forgive is like taking your phone in to get the screen fixed. It doesn't mean the crack never happened, but it stops it from getting worse. It helps you see things again.

This isn’t about ignoring serious problems; it’s about learning when to forgive and when to address issues with grace. Sometimes, when someone hurts us, it’s okay to forgive them while also setting new boundaries to protect ourselves from further hurt.

Today, think of a relationship that's been strained. What "cracks" have you been focusing on? Take the first step by identifying what needs forgiveness and what might need clearer boundaries.
