Sometimes all we need is perspective
I am guilty of the talk. Talking to my friends, especially when it comes to the one person who attempts to hurt my family. She deserves forgiveness, just as much as anyone else. I am guilty of getting mad and staying mad. I am guilty of a grudge. I am guilty of doing wrong. I need to forgive myself

Sometimes God lets you date the wrong person - not to punish you, but to prepare you.
He lets you see what love is not, so you'll recognize what it is. He lets you feel the weight of compromise, so you'll value alignment. He lets you taste heartbreak, so you'll learn dependence on Him. The wrong person can still point you to the right lessons. #relatable #christiantiktok
