Personal Reflection
It’s a hard truth to swallow — especially when you’ve been the one holding the bucket while everything burns.
You want to fix it.
Patch them up.
Drag them from the wreckage.
But love doesn’t always come with rescue ropes.
Sometimes love is just staying beside them when the heat rises.
Not trying to change their path — just walking with them, even if the flames are part of it.
That’s not weakness.
That’s love with boundaries.
That’s love that doesn’t pretend to be God.
Reflective Prompt
Who are you trying to save — and what might it look like to simply love them instead?
