GROW
Not just taller. Not just older. But deeper—in faith, in grace, in wisdom, and in love.
Growth is choosing peace over revenge, even when your flesh burns for retaliation. It’s Jesus on the cross saying, “Father, forgive them,” when HE could’ve called down angels. It’s turning the other cheek, not because you’re weak, but because you’re strong enough to surrender your pain to a higher purpose.
Apology accepted.
But trust? That’s another story. God calls us to forgive, but HE also calls us to guard our hearts. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning. True strength is walking away from betrayal without dragging bitterness behind you. It’s refusing to become like those who wounded you.
In HIS timing, someone may enter your life and reflect Christ’s love so purely that you’ll finally understand why certain doors had to close. Why some “forevers” were only for a season. The past only makes sense in the light of the future. And God’s light? It reveals everything with clarity and compassion.
You deserve a love that mirrors Christ—supportive, respectful, fulfilling. A love that lifts rather than drains. That sees your worth, speaks life, and honors the image of God within you.
Constructive advice—spoken in truth and love—has the power to heal and refine. But destructive opinions? They tear down what God is trying to build. Choose voices that speak life over noise that stirs confusion.
The right love builds. The wrong love breaks.
And you, child of God, were never meant to settle for less than what nourishes your soul and brings peace to your heart.
Yes, pain will send you to your knees. But prayer will lift you to places pain could never reach. Because in your weakness, HE is strong. In your breaking, HE is near. And in your healing, HE is glorified.
So—Grow.
Grow in grace.
Grow in truth.
Grow in discernment.
Grow in love.
Grow in Christ.
Let your scars become stories. Let your prayers become power. And let your growth become your testimony.
Amen
