We can rebuild this with honor, one small step at a time.

A Bible affirmation for healing a relationship, rooted in Romans 12:10.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

Romans 12:10 · BSB

Reflection

Repair rarely comes from one big talk. It comes from small acts of honor repeated: listening without interrupting, assuming the best, saying thank you. That's how devoted love grows back.

A prayer

Lord, guide my words today. Help me take one small step toward honoring this person.
