Often in relationships we have to move
the next mile, leaving behind the experiences
of the mile just past, and starting afresh.
It takes a big heart, and deep love to take
the risk of exposing yourself to being hurt
again, forgiving the people who tore you
down and giving the relationship another
chance.

Pray for strength and take along the learnings
from the past. This time, shift focus from
appeasing to creating healthier bonds with

clearer boundaries and lots of space.
