When a Friend Falls
“Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well.” — Galatians 6:1 (NASB 1995)
It’s easy to cancel, call out, or walk away when someone messes up. But that’s not what the Spirit does—and not what He calls you to do.
Restoration isn’t passive. It takes strength to lean in gently, help humbly, and speak truth without pride.
And it takes wisdom to stay watchful—because you’re not above temptation either.
Challenge:
Think of someone who’s fallen away or struggling. Ask the Spirit to guide your words and attitude as you reach out.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, make me someone who restores, not shames. Use me to lift others up, not tear them down. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
