· Proverbs 11:13
When someone entrusts us with a difficulty, care includes discretion. Their story is not ours to retell for interest or attention. Honour appropriate privacy, while seeking necessary help when someone’s safety is at risk.
A question to sit with
Am I treating another person’s story with care?
One small step
Leave private details out of an unnecessary conversation.
Pray
Jesus, make me trustworthy in my words and choices. Amen.
