In our pursuit of spiritual growth, it's tempting to believe we can simply leapfrog over the messy parts of our past. We think that by focusing on the future and our new, improved selves, we can leave behind the shadows of our former actions. But the truth is, lasting transformation requires us to revisit and rectify the mistakes we've made.

Healing isn’t a one-time event. It’s an ongoing journey. We often think of healing as something we do when we’re broken, but what if we embraced it as a continuous practice? Imagine approaching life with the mindset that healing is a daily process, something we engage in regularly, just like eating or sleeping.

When we honestly and humbly confess our mistakes to one another, we create moments of genuine human connection. These encounters are transformative, enriching both parties involved. They move beyond the pursuit of moral purity or seeking “divine favor”, allowing us to experience God’s love directly through the grace and understanding of others.
