The Stone

Spiritual growth requires more than facing the past. It requires clearing away what still stands between me and others.

Ripple One: Practical

Today, I will remember that willingness is often the first step before action. I may not feel ready to address every broken relationship, but I can become willing. Growth begins when I stop resisting what I know needs to be done.

Ripple Two: Spiritual

As I clear away the debris of the past, the Holy Spirit develops humility, honesty, and courage within me and helps me build healthier relationships going forward. The Father patiently prepares me for each step of growth, and Jesus shows me that these qualities work together to bring healing.

Prayer

Father God, make me willing to do what needs to be done. Through Your Holy Spirit, grow in me the courage, honesty, and humility that lead to healing. Shape my life through the example of Jesus, and help me walk forward in freedom and love. Amen.
