Journey to Healing: Healing Relationships Begins In His Presence

Quick Glance: For Your Heart Today

Some of our deepest wounds come from relationships—what was said, what wasn’t, what was done, or what never got resolved. But healing doesn’t begin by fixing someone else or forcing reconciliation. It begins with Jesus. It begins in His presence—where we are seen, known, and loved, even in our brokenness. The story of Zacchaeus invites us to reflect on how Jesus meets us where we are and makes space for healing to begin in our hearts and our relationships.

3 Takeaways

Healing begins in His presence—not by rehashing who was right or wrong, but by receiving His love.—not by rehashing who was right or wrong, but by receiving His love.

Jesus sees, knows and loves you before you’ve done anything to “make things right.”

Relational healing overflows into our actions and attitudes, restoring what was broken—starting with us.

If You Only Have a Moment

Even if you can’t read the full message today, pause here and pray:

“Jesus, I bring you this ache between us.

Help me stop trying to fix everything and just rest in Your presence.

Begin healing in me—even if nothing else changes. Amen.”
