The worst of you is not the whole of you ๐Ÿ’—

I wouldnโ€™t be able to do โ€œThe Fightโ€ justice by summarizing it here, so Iโ€™ll start by recommending you listen to it RIGHT NOW ๐Ÿ˜‰ and then Iโ€™ll share some thoughts and encouragement that it prompted for me!

Listen to โ€œThe Fightโ€ on the Awaken Church app and be encouraged – How to win the fight without winning every round!

๐ŸŒŸ It is never too late to make a change.
๐ŸŒŸ You can always make a different choice.
๐ŸŒŸ The worst of you is not the whole of you.
๐ŸŒŸ Your past doesnโ€™t have to be your future.
๐ŸŒŸ Behavior doesnโ€™t always reflect who you truly are.
๐ŸŒŸ Plot twists are a real thing.
๐ŸŒŸ Forgive yourself and others, and donโ€™t hold onto grudges.
๐ŸŒŸ Give grace to people.
๐ŸŒŸ ALL of us mess up, and weโ€™ve all hurt people.
๐ŸŒŸ Character is developed through difficult times.
๐ŸŒŸ None of us have the privilege of seeing every second of someoneโ€™s life to fully understand their experience.
๐ŸŒŸ To judge based on what you see with your eyes is unwise.

Live from now, not from then. Amen.
