A Journey Towards Reconciliation.
We were meant for healthy, life-giving relationships. Deep within every one of us is the desire to rebuild and reconnect with those we have uneasily parted ways with. The process of restoring strained relationships often entails a journey – one in which we must set our own pace and trust the Spirit of God to guide us on. This devotional is meant to help you on your journey toward reconciliation. It looks at four common signposts of this journey: recognizing, renewing, rebuilding, and reaching out.

Maybe you’ve experienced brief expressions of lament and find yourself curious to learn how to better include it into your personal discipleship as well as ministry to young people, especially those dealing with hurt and confusion.
