Matthew 18
Jesus shows us how to heal through our hurts. He does not ask us to ignore pain or to move past it quickly. Instead, he invites us into a process of healing that is honest, patient, and rooted in community. Accepting forgiveness is its own powerful journey — one that requires us to acknowledge our need, to receive grace humbly, and to trust that restoration is possible. Healing takes time, and Jesus walks with us through every step.
Prayer: Loving God, walk with me through my hurts and help me trust in the healing you offer.
