Day 20 — Stretching Gently
- Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 – “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.”
- Reflection:Do you recall the wisdom saying, ‘perfection is the enemy of the good?’ Sometimes we hamper our capacity to change and learn, by focusing on perfection instead. Yet we are human.
God asks us always to try, yet loves us for whom we already are. We are enough.
Yet we also have the capacity to become more. God also wants this for us.
Growth does not mean perfection—it means openness. Openness means vulnerability,
willingness to take risks and make mistakes, then to learn from what goes wrong and try again.
God is with us at every step. - Practice: Try one small, brave act today.

- “In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” — Abraham Maslow
