Verses for Healing a Relationship

I can bring up a hurt privately and honestly.

A Bible affirmation for healing a relationship, rooted in Matthew 18:15.

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

Matthew 18:15 · BSB

Reflection

Jesus gives a simple first step when someone wrongs you: go to them, privately. Not to everyone else first, and not online. A private, honest conversation is often where a relationship gets won back.

A prayer

Lord, give me courage to talk to the person directly, and kindness when I do.
