When a Friend Fails
"Restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness."Galatians 6:1
Reflection
When someone messes up, it is easy to point a finger. The Bible says to hold out a hand. Restoring is very different from accusing.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to restore instead of accuse. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What do we usually do when someone messes up?
- What does the Bible say to do instead?
- How can we restore gently?
5-minute activity
Repair something broken together, like a torn page with tape or a toy. Talk about how restoring takes care and gentleness, just like helping a friend who failed. Read Galatians 6:1-2.
