*What if a broken relationship is not proof that you have failed?*
Romans 12:18 helps you do your part, then trust God with what you cannot control.
When peace feels out of reach, it is easy to carry blame that is not yours. In this five-minute Christian devotional, we explore the gentle freedom within Romans 12:18. You will learn the difference between faithfulness and control, and discover how to keep the door open without forcing someone through it. God asks you to do what is yours, then leave the outcome with him.
What relationship are you placing back into God’s hands today? You can share as much or as little as feels right.
