πΏ BRUISED BUT NOT BROKEN
January 18, 2026
π Scripture Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)
βHe will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning.β
π Reflection Hey sisβ¦Youβre allowed to move on.
Moving on doesnβt mean it didnβt hurt.It doesnβt mean you forgot.And it definitely doesnβt mean it didnβt matter. It just means youβre choosing not to stay in the ashes.
Some seasons end quietlyβnot with closure, not with apologies, not with everything making sense.And thatβs okay.
You donβt need permission to choose peace.You donβt need approval to step forward.Youβre allowed to want more for yourself. βπ½ Exercise Take a moment and write this down:
π βIβm allowed to move forward even if everything isnβt resolved.β
Sit with it. Let it settle.
π Engagement prompt:Comment βIβm choosing peaceβ if this speaks to you today.
ππ½ Optional Prayer God, help me release what no longer belongs in this season.Teach me how to choose peace without guilt.Amen.
π Affirmation I am allowed to move on.I choose peace over staying stuck.I may be bruisedβbut Iβm not broken.
Bruised but Not Broken Healing daily. Rising always. π
